Can Microplastics Be Absorbed Through Our Skin? New Research Gives a Clue

Summary

New research shows that chemicals used in plastics (like the ones found in packaging and everyday products) can actually pass through your skin when they mix with sweat. This matters because it suggests our skin isn't just a barrier, it could be another way these chemicals get into our bodies, in addition to breathing them in or eating them, giving scientists a fuller picture of how we're exposed to plastic-related chemicals in daily life.
