Microplastics Detected in Human Blood

Continuing his studies at the Vrije University of Amsterdam, serving in the Netherlands, Prof. A group of scientists led by Dick Vethaak has made a discovery that we should be very worried about. Examining the blood samples of 22 people, all of whom were completely healthy, the research team found that these blood samples were found plastic particles in 17 of them. Yes, you heard right; plastic particles are now circulating in our blood… With this research, microplastics have been detected in human blood for the first time…

There is no need to talk anymore that plastic is very dangerous for our planet and our health. The study has shown that the situation is now reached frightening proportions. revealed. Because plastic particles found both in fish and on the summit of Mount Everest in previous studies have now even been mixed with our blood. Dick Vethaak”We should be worried.saying ” explained the gravity of the situation.

The bottles we drink water from are in our blood!

From the blood samples examined in the Netherlands and microplastic detected almost halfway through, the pet plastic material used in the water bottles we drink was detected. It is also used in the packaging of food and other products. polystyrene used in the manufacture of carrying bags with polyethylene It was also among the microplastics that mixed with the blood. In the statements made about the research, In some blood samples, all three types of microplastics were detected. expressed.

prof. Dick Vethaak describes the research as “groundbreaking” scope of should be expanded says. Stating that both more people and more possibilities are needed, the scientist thinks that all possibilities such as plastic cups and masks should be evaluated. In previous reviews babies and toddlers Saying that it has been proven to be less resistant to microplastics, the scientist states that it should be feared most for babies and children.

How does microplastic affect the human body?

It has been known for years how harmful plastic materials are to the human body. When the raw material of plastic material enters the body, it invites many diseases, especially cancer. In addition, organs such as the thyroid gland and pancreas are also affected by this raw material. In addition, problems such as infertility may arise due to the introduction of plastic into the body.
