Microplastics have been identified in human blood for the first time, raising concerns that the omnipresent particles are also making their way into organs.

The virtually undetectable plastic fragments have already been discovered almost everywhere else on Earth, from the deepest oceans to the highest peaks, as well as in the air, soil, and food chain.
What Do Studies Have To Say?
Microplastics were discovered in nearly 80% of blood samples from 22 anonymous, healthy participants, according to a Dutch study published in the Environment International Journal on Thursday.The Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development, as well as Common Seas, a UK-based organization dedicated to eliminating plastic pollution, supported the research.Polyethylene terephthalate or PET plastic, which is commonly used to make water bottles, was found in half of the blood samples, while polystyrene, which is commonly used in disposable food containers and other products, was found in more than a third.
