Humans are exposed to toxic chemicals and microplastics at all stages in the plastics life cycle. Microplastics effects on human health are of growing concern and an area of research. The tiny particles known as microplastics (MPs), have been found in various environmental and biological matrices, including air, water, food, and human tissues.
Microplastics that have been found in human organs have “alarming links” to adverse health impacts, including lesions, cervical cancer, and other diseases, researchers suggest. Now, an ...
Research has found these very tiny particles in human blood and the lungs. One of the big concerns is their potential to cause chronic inflammation, oxidative stress and damage at the cellular level."
Microplastics have been found in the human body in recent studies. Scientists are trying to understand their potential negative effects on our health. An expert in environmental pollution shared ...
Similarly, microplastics were found in all 45 samples for a study examining patients with knee or hip surgery. Yet another study examined 312 patients who had fatty deposits, or plaques, removed ...
The disease is caused only by plastic according to the study. [2] Plasticosis is a pathological wound healing in which connective tissue replaces normal parenchymal tissue to the extent that it goes unchecked, leading to considerable tissue remodelling and the formation of permanent scar tissue. Repeated injuries, chronic inflammation and ...
A 2017 study found indoor airborne microfiber concentrations between 1.0 and 60.0 microfibers per cubic meter (33% of which were found to be microplastics). [139] Another study looked at microplastic in the street dust of Tehran and found 2,649 particles of microplastic within 10 samples of street dust, with ranging samples concentrations from ...
And plastic production workers at textile facilities die of lung cancer and lung disease at higher rates. The damage caused by microplastics to marine and aquatic organisms has been widely ...
