More evidence found of inflammation in those with the plastic bits in their blood vessel
NEW YORK – We breathe, eat and drink tiny particles of plastic. But are these minuscule specks in the body harmless, dangerous or somewhere in between?
Using two methods, they found evidence of plastics — mostly invisible nanoplastics — in the artery plaque of 150 patients and no evidence of plastics in 107 patients. “I hope that the alarming message from our study will raise the consciousness of citizens, especially governments, to finally become aware of the importance of the health of our planet,” said Dr Raffaele Marfella of the University of Campania in Italy, who led the study, in an email.It’s very small and looked only at people with narrowed arteries, who were already at risk for heart attack and stroke.
The researchers had no information on what the people consumed or breathed that might account for the plastics.
