Metabolizing Microplastics for Human Health

2022
sara moaddeli sara moaddeli

Summary

Researchers proposed a crowdfunded citizen science project on the Experiment platform to investigate whether human metabolic processes can break down microplastics, exploring the hypothesis that gut microbiota or enzymatic activity might contribute to microplastic degradation in the human body. The project aimed to gather preliminary evidence on the fate of ingested microplastics in human physiology.

Experiment is an online platform for funding and sharing scientific discoveries. Push the boundaries of knowledge in biology, chemistry, medicine, physics, computer science, paleontology, economics, engineering, neuroscience, and more.
