The Microplastic
Scientists Found Plastic in Human Blood, Brains, and Unborn Babies
THE CONTAMINATION YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ☠️
In March 2022 researchers at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam published a study in the journal Environment International that for the first time detected microplastic particles in human blood, finding quantifiable levels of plastic in twenty-two of twenty-two blood samples tested, meaning every single participant in the study had plastic flowing through their circulatory system reaching every organ in their body including their brain, and this finding which confirmed what environmental scientists had been warning about for years transformed microplastic contamination from an environmental concern primarily about marine life and ecosystem health into a direct human health crisis because the plastic particles circulating in your blood are not inert passengers but are chemically active compounds that carry endocrine-disrupting chemicals, heavy metals, and other toxic substances into tissues and organs where they accumulate over a lifetime and where their health effects are only beginning to be understood 🩸
