It is always sobering to see tangible pictures of how much stuff we produce as a global machine. It helps us to understand the sheer scale and numbers of hopeful individuals roaming our planet today. In the case of earwax the produce is clandestinely, surreptitiously discarded. All we can do is estimate the total quantity per day. Here is how:This website tells us how much ear wax the average person produces in their lifetime.They say: "The skin which lines the ear canal moves outwards at the rate of 33mm a year, so it ejects app. 3113 mm2 wax /year. Lifetime (78 yr) = 0.244 sq metre."Then, take 0.244 sq metres x 6.91 billion people (american billions), divided by 78 (years), divided by 365 days.So we arrive at 5.913 sq metres. Material density (not mine, hopefully) roughly allows me to convert a square metre to a tonne - sounds much cooler.Global earwax production per day = 5.913 tonnes. . .
