flag Study links high levels of microplastics in arteries to potential increased risk of stroke.

flag A recent study has found high levels of microplastics and nanoplastics in the arteries of stroke patients, suggesting a potential link to cardiovascular diseases. flag These tiny plastic particles, originating from items like water bottles and synthetic fabrics, were found at much higher concentrations in diseased arteries compared to healthy ones. flag Researchers found that immune cells in these environments may react differently, potentially leading to chronic inflammation and genetic alterations. flag However, more research is needed to establish a clear cause-and-effect relationship.
