Summary
This study assessed microplastic contamination in human urine samples from adult volunteers, finding particles in the majority of analyzed specimens. Detection in urine confirms renal filtration and excretion of some microplastic particles following systemic circulation, providing evidence that a portion of ingested or inhaled microplastics reaches the bloodstream and is renally cleared.
