Microplastics were detected throughout the human body, including the blood, lungs, liver and even lower limb joints.
Scientists have found evidence of microplastics in our brains, and further studies have revealed how these microplastics are accumulating and rapidly rising in our brains.
The World Economic Forum, said a recent study in the US state of Oregon, found microplastics in 98.9% of seafood samples.
It is estimated that the average person can eat, drink or breathe between 78,000 and 211,000 microplastic particles every year.
While the full extent of the health impacts of microplastics are not yet known, studies indicate that they can increase the likelihood of heart attack, stroke, or death.
Some experts believe we are in the midst of a plastic health crisis.
The Oregon study found that nearly 60% of people undergoing surgery had microplastics or nanoplastics in a main artery, and those with these particles were 4.5 times more likely to experience these health issues.
While the study does not conclusively prove that the plastics are causing these problems, it is seen as a launching pad for further research on the risks posed by microplastics and nanoplastics.
