Research is published in the magazine Nature Medicine On 3.2 analyzed the brain, liver and kidney models from 28 deaths in 2016 and 24 deaths in 2024 in New Mexico (USA) showed that on average, more than 3,000 micrograms of plastic with each gram of cells in these grams in these grams of cells The death of 2016. This figure increased to 5,000 micrograms with deaths in 2024.
Scientists also discovered the trend of increasing micro -plastic particles in brain tissue from deaths from 1997 to 2013 in the US, in addition to the much higher micro -plastic concentration in the brain tissue than the liver and kidneys.
Plastic particles are placed under a microscope
According to The Guardianthe human body is increasingly infected with micro -plastic – plastic particles size smaller than 5 mm. They have been discovered in the blood, sperm, breast milk, placenta and bone marrow. The most popular plastic found is Polyethylene, used in plastic bags, food packaging and drinks. It accounts for an average of 75% of the total amount of plastic produced.
How many micro -micro -micro -plastic we swallow?
Another study on January 30 shows the increasing plastic pollution in the placenta of premature babies, in addition, there is a study in the mouse that found that the plastic can block blood vessels in the brain of the mouse, causing damage Neurology, though noted that human blood vessels are much greater than the mice.
According to experts, the impact of micro -plastic on human health has not been clearly defined, but they are thought to be related to stroke and heart attack. In addition, plastic micro -concentration is detected about 6 times higher than the brain samples of people with memory impairment. Scientists believe that there should be more studies to better understand the path of contact with micro -plastic, as well as the health risks of plastic affecting human tissues.
