Landmark study links microplastics to serious health problems
Summary
Researchers found that patients with microplastic particles lodged in carotid artery plaque had significantly higher rates of heart attack, stroke, and death over a three-year follow-up period, providing some of the first direct clinical evidence linking microplastic accumulation to serious cardiovascular events.
People who had tiny plastic particles lodged in a key blood vessel were more likely to experience heart attack, stroke or death during a three-year study.
