As part of Autism Awareness Month, ALLATRA partnered with local groups, including Clean Up Atlanta, ATL Now, Atlanta Metro Alliance, and ACT International Consulting, to host a dual-purpose event that combined a Cleanup activity with critical scientific research, delivering a groundbreaking message about the potential connection between micro- and nanoplastics and neurological health,including a potential link to autism.
The day's activities centered on two key components: a Piedmont park Clean-up and an educational "Picnic and Learn" session on plastic pollution, environmental health, and community action. Participants discussed how micro- and nanoplastics can enter the environment and why further scientific research and public awareness are important for protecting health and ecosystems.

The film reveals a troubling reality: micro- and nanoplastics penetrate air, water, food, our bodies, and even cellular structures, potentially posing a threat not only to the environment but also to brain health. Based on scientific research, the film presents evidence showing how plastic particles accumulate in the body, causing inflammation and toxic effects.
Also, studies cited in the film suggest a possible connection between the accumulation of plastics and neurological disorders, including autism.
The participants of this event were very grateful for this information. We continue our series of events, so wait for the announcement of the event in May. Happy Earth Day and let's protect our planet and our health and our lives! Life is the most precious thing we have!
