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

Summary

Scientists measured tiny plastic particles — including bits of nanoplastics and worn-down tire rubber — found in human tonsils, giving us a clearer picture of the size and amount of these particles that can end up in our bodies. This matters because tonsils act as a filter for things we breathe in and swallow, so finding these particles there suggests plastic pollution is making its way deeper into our bodies than previously realized. Note that this specific entry is a data file supplement, meaning it shares the raw measurements behind the study rather than presenting new conclusions itself.
