The term 'microplastic' was coined just 18 years ago, but already they seem to be just about everywhere.
The most robust study of its kind has discovered 39 microplastic particles in 11 out of 13 lung tissue samples from living humans.samples have uncovered tiny fibers and flakes of plastics before, but none analyzed the makeup of the synthetic polymers.
While these microplastics were only found in small amounts, they were present throughout the lungs, and the lower the lung tissue, the more contamination there generally was."This is surprising as the airways are smaller in the lower parts of the lungs, and we would have expected particles of these sizes to be filtered out or trapped before getting this deep into the lungs,"Above: Images of microplastics found in human lung tissue.
