Experts have told people to drink water from glass or metal cups so that they don’t get small pieces of plastic in their bodies, which could be bad for their health.
Micro and nanoplastic particles entering human tissues are becoming more evident, Dr. Luisa Campagnolo of the University of Tor Vergata in Rome cautioned.
Previous research has demonstrated that human blood can carry these tiny particles into the placenta, which is a component of the uterus. However, it was discovered in this mouse study that plastic removed from the throat can also find a home in other regions of the womb.
Dr. Luisa Campagnolo, who was not part of the study, said there have been strong signs that plastic particles may be going after the womb.
The production of some hormones is impacted by plastic particles that enter human tissue, and this could potentially harm biological processes.
Five pregnant rats were fed tiny pieces of plastic during the study. Later, when their anvils were discovered, they contained a sizable amount of plastic. He continued by saying that it is crucial to avoid discussing the potential dangers of plastic particles right now because there hasn’t been much research done on their effects on human health. The research was presented at the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s annual meeting.
