Supplementary data to "Size distribution of nanoplastics and tyre wear particles in human tonsils"

Summary

Scientists found tiny plastic particles—including bits worn off from car tires—inside human tonsils, and measured how big these particles typically are. This matters because it adds to growing evidence that plastic pollution isn't just in our environment, it's actually getting into our bodies, including tissues that help fight off germs. Note that this particular dataset is the supporting technical files for the study rather than the full write-up of what the findings mean for our health.
