This discovery marks a major shift in our understanding of plastic exposure. Instead of remaining only in the environment, microplastics are entering the human body, circulating through the bloodstream, and potentially interacting with organs and cells. These findings raise significant questions about long-term health effects, possible biological responses, and how deeply plastic contamination has infiltrated human life.
