For the first time, plastic particles were found in human blood.



Stuff Reporter:  For the first time, researchers have found microplastics in human blood. 

The Guardian quoted researchers as saying that tests had found the presence of these tiny plastic particles in the blood of about 80 percent of people. 

In a new study published in The Journal Environment International, The Guardian reported on Thursday (March 24th) that scientists have found that plastic particles can move in the human body and take up space in various organs. 

However, the impact on human health is not yet known. 

However, researchers have found evidence that microplastics damage human cells. 

They say that as a result of breathing in polluted air, billions of particles, including plastic particles, are entering our bodies. 

Which has led to the untimely death of millions of people every year. 

The Guardian reports that in the study, scientists analyzed samples from 22 unidentified blood donors, both healthy and adult. 

Researchers found plastic particles in the bodies of 17 of them. 

Half of the samples contained PET plastic which is commonly used in beverage bottles. 

One-third of the samples contained polystyrene, which is used to pack food and other products. 

Polythene has also been identified in a quarter of blood samples. 

The Guardian reports that huge amounts of plastic waste are being dumped into the environment every day, and that microplastics from the summit of Mount Everest to the deepest ocean are now polluting the entire planet. 

Humans are already taking in tiny particles by breathing in addition to food and water and they have been found in the feces of children and adults. 

"Our study is the first indication of the presence of polymer particles in our blood," said Professor Dick Vethak, a professor of ecotoxicology at the University of the Bridge in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. 

This is a landmark result. 

However, we need to expand our research and increase the number of polymers to evaluate the size of the sample.

"It's very worrying that there are tiny particles of plastic in the human body and moving around the body," Vethak told the Guardian. 

We generally know that infants and young children are at greater risk for exposure to chemicals and particles. 

However, recent studies have shown that microplastics can damage red blood cells and interfere with the supply of oxygen to the blood.
