Summary
This study provides the first direct photographic and chemical evidence of microplastics and pigment microparticles inside human blood clots (thrombi). A large number of non-soluble synthetic particles were found accumulated in arterial tissue, suggesting that the health risks of microparticle exposure have been underestimated. The findings raise serious questions about whether microplastics circulating in the bloodstream could contribute to blood clot formation and cardiovascular events.
This study provides the first photograph and Raman spectrum evidence of microparticles in thrombi. A large number of non-soluble particles including synthetic material microparticles could accumulate in arteries, suggesting that the risk of microparticle exposure was under-estimated and the re-evaluation of its health effects is urgently needed. There will be a series of reports on assessing the health effects of microparticle exposure in humans in the future and this research provided clues for the subsequent research.
