Summary

Researchers detected microplastic polymers in the feces of pregnant women in Indonesia, providing evidence of microplastic exposure during pregnancy. The study identified several types of plastic particles present in the samples. The findings raise concerns about maternal microplastic exposure and highlight the need for further research into potential effects during pregnancy.

Indonesian pregnant women have been exposed to some microplastic polymers.
