Study finds stroke survivors have 51 times more microplastics in carotid arteries than those without plaque.
A new study reveals that the carotid arteries of stroke survivors have 51 times more micronanoplastics, tiny plastic particles, compared to those without plaque.
These particles, found in various human tissues, are linked to changes in gene activity related to plaque stabilization and inflammation.
While the exact impact on health is unclear, this adds to concerns over microplastics' presence in human bodies.
