Fine particles of plastic have been discovered in the lungs of living people.
A report published in the new portal stated that the latest research has found tiny plastic particles in the lungs of living people. These particles have been found in almost all the samples obtained.
According to the report, tissue samples were taken from the lungs of 13 patients undergoing surgery for research. Among the particles found in the samples were the most common polypropylene particles found in plastic bags and plastic pipes.
An earlier study in March found microplastic particles in human blood. Experts have found that these particles travel throughout the body and can make room in any organ.
Scientists say pollution from plastic particles is now commonplace around the world and there is growing concern about its health effects. Experts said that it is not yet possible to estimate the effect of these particles on health. However, experts believe that microplastics can damage human cells.
