Never Give Up—Fight Illness With Strength And Science
Indoor air contains microplastics in high quantities, with studies estimating adults inhale approximately 68,000 particles daily. Most microplastics are small enough to reach deep lung tissue and may cause health issues. Cleaning with HEPA filters, choosing natural materials, and improving ventilation can mitigate exposure to these harmful particles.
This article discusses the sources, and effects of microplastics in the human body. This topic was inspired by RFK Jr to investigate the link between microplastics and chronic diseases.
A new study showed that microplastics are present in human breast milk. Using Raman spectroscopy, particles of polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polypropylene with sizes ranging from 2 to 12 micrometers were found in women’s breast milk. In their abstract, The widespread use of plastics determines the inevitable human exposure to its by-products, including microplastics (MPs),…
Microplastics can be found in different body organs and affect human health. Microplastics in the placenta A study published in the journal Environmental International detected microplastics in the human placenta. Raman Microspectroscopy was used to examine six human placentas to evaluate microplastics. Twelve microplastic fragments (ranging from 5 to 10 μm in size) were found…
