Invisible Threat. Nanoplastic | Address by Dr. Egon Cholakian

In his address “Invisible Threat”, Dr. Egon Cholakian reveals the reality of yet another planetary crisis caused by the widespread dissemination of micro- and nanoplastics. Drawing on extensive scientific evidence, Dr. Cholakian explains how microscopic plastic particles have infiltrated every aspect of our lives — from the depths of the ocean to human tissues.

Dr. Cholakian presents compelling facts: nanoplastics present in the air, water, food, and even inside our bodies trigger a chain of destructive processes — from cancer and reproductive disorders to genetic malfunctions and neurodegenerative diseases. He emphasizes a critical issue: nanoplastics are not excreted from the body. Instead, they accumulate in cells, disrupt mitochondrial function, and damage DNA.

Dr. Cholakian also highlights a paradoxical reality: what we have long considered beneficial now harbors hidden danger. Fruits and vegetables we choose for “healthy” eating are now saturated with nanoplastics. Forest walks and ocean breezes — once inherently beneficial — are now contaminated by nanoplastics. That which once strengthened us is now silently undermining our health.

Scientists from around the world are working to raise awareness about this threat and are searching for solutions to the crisis. Dr. Cholakian also outlines what each of us can do to reduce nanoplastics’ impact on our lives. Our future depends on how quickly we acknowledge the scale of this danger and begin to act — while we still have the strength and clarity of mind to do so. Life is worth fighting for.
