Micro-nano-plastics found in artery

Research has uncovered the presence of micro-nano-plastics in arterial plaque found in the neck arteries of individuals. The discovery raises concerns about the potential impact of plastic pollution on cardiovascular health.

Micro-nano-plastics found in artery

A recent study published in a scientific journal has revealed the presence of micro-nano-plastics in artery-clogging plaque extracted from the neck arteries of patients. The finding suggests that exposure to plastics may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease. To investigate this possibility, researchers analyzed samples of arterial plaque obtained from patients undergoing vascular surgery.

The analysis revealed the presence of microplastic particles, which were found to be embedded within the lipid-rich cores of atherosclerotic plaques. The discovery of these plastic particles in human tissues has significant implications for our understanding of the effects of environmental pollution on cardiovascular health. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms by which exposure to plastics may influence the development and progression of atherosclerosis.
