[Dutch scientists found 17 of 22 volunteers,
or 77%, had "quantifiable" microplastics in their blood. Levels were low, at an average of 1.6 micrograms (1.6 millionths of a gram) in every millilitre of blood. But the mere presence of microplastics - fragments of everyday items - in the bloodstream is highly significant.] [The most common detected plastic was PET, which is used to make drinks bottles.] [They describe the plastic fragments as "ubiquitous pollutants in the living environment and food chain". But no previous study has been able to detect them in the blood.] https://news.sky.com/story/microplas...nding-12574356 |
