Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Human Blood: What the Latest Research Shows

Summary

Tiny plastic particles called microplastics and nanoplastics have been found circulating in human blood, and this review pulls together what scientists have learned so far about where they come from and how they might affect us. Early studies suggest possible links to heart problems, blood clotting issues, and cell damage, though researchers stress it's not yet proven that plastics *cause* these problems. The review also looks at whether things like blood donation might help clear plastics from the body, but notes that more research is needed before we know how worried to be.
