Microplastics have been detected in many environments, including oceansSvet/Alamy
Microplastics seem to generate potentially harmful molecules when they contact blood, which is thought to be due to their large surface area enabling such reactions. If this effect occurs within our bodies, it could explain why they have been linked to cell damage and other health concerns.
Several recent studies have linked microplastics, which form when plastics degrade in the environment, to issues such as
