Summary
Scientists developed a new imaging technique that transforms tissue samples into a see-through gel, allowing them to spot tiny microplastic particles—smaller than what previous methods could detect—hidden throughout intact human tissue. This matters because it reveals that our bodies may contain far more microplastic pollution than earlier studies suggested, since older detection methods were likely missing these smaller, harder-to-find particles.
