Breathing In Microplastics: How the Human Airways May be Affected
A new study by scientists from the University of Birmingham has revealed a shocking new discovery: microplastics have been found in the human airways. This is the first time that researchers have been able to identify and analyze microplastics in the respiratory system, and it raises serious questions about the impact that these tiny particles have on our health. The study found that the microplastics had made their way into the airways through the lungs and were present in both the upper and lower airways. This means that our bodies are being exposed to these particles on a daily basis, and the implications of this for human health are still unknown.
