Plastics Running In Our Veins

Scientists have just tested 62 human placental samples. All were contaminated with microplastics (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/feb/27/microplastics-found-every-human-placenta-tested-study-health-impact). These tiny particles of plastic appear to found their ways into human bodies via our food (they bioaccumulate) and the air we breathe. Microplastics have also been found in many human blood and milk samples. There's a real concern they may lodge and chronically deliver harmful chemicals throughout our bodies. This would, of course, increase the risk of cancers. It has even been suggested microplastics play a role in atheriosclerosis. In this condition, clogging of the arteries by plaque, greatly increases the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke. The world has become our dustbin!
