For the first time, plastic particles have been found in human blood. Scientists have found these tiny particles in the bodies of about 80 percent of the people who took part in the experiment. The British media The Guardian reported on Thursday.

Experiments have shown that particles can travel throughout the body and stay in the limbs. The effect of these tiny particles on health is not yet known. However, researchers have expressed concern about this. Because it has been found in the laboratory, plastic particles damage human cells and the particles enter the human body through air pollution. Millions of people die every year due to this air pollution.

Huge amount of plastic waste is accumulated every year. Plastic particles are now polluting the planet Earth. Plastic waste is found in the deepest part of the ocean from the summit of Mount Everest. Plastic particles are entering the human body through breathing as well as food and drink. These particles are also found in the stools of children and adults.

Scientists analyzed blood samples from 22 donors, who did not want to be named. Plastic particles were found in the bodies of 16 of them. Half of the samples contain PET plastic, which is commonly used in beverage bottles. One third of the resulting plastic particles contain polystyrene, which is used in packaging food and other products. Polythene was found in a quarter of blood samples. This polythene is used to make plastic bags.

"For the first time, our research has shown that we have polymer particles in our blood - a groundbreaking result," said Professor Dick Vethak, an ecotoxicologist at the University of Vrije in the Netherlands, Amsterdam. However, we need to increase the scope of our research and increase the number of samples, the number of polymers evaluated, etc.
