Microplastic was found in human blood for the first time

Microplastic was found in human blood for the first time 🧪

In a study, scientists from the Netherlands found that tiny particles of plastic were present in nearly 80% of the people tested.


Experts analyzed blood samples from 22 anonymous donors, all of whom were healthy adults. Plastic particles were found in 17 people. Half of the samples contained PET plastic, which is commonly used in beverage bottles, and a third contained polystyrene, which is used to make packaging for food and other products. A quarter of the blood samples contained polyethylene.

The discovery shows that the particles can travel through the body and settle in organs. The effect on health is not yet known. But researchers are concerned that microplastics damage human cells, and airborne particles penetrate the body and cause millions of early deaths a year. People have also been shown to consume the tiny particles with food and water, as well as inhale them.
