• Researchers out of the Netherlands have found quantifiable amounts of plastic in human blood for the first time.
• The plastics most commonly identified were polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and styrene.
• On average, 1.6 micrograms of plastic material were measured for every milliliter of blood, with the highest concentration being just over 7 micrograms.
• The researchers were not able to identify the precise size of the particles; however, it is believed the 700 nanometer limit of the analysis would be easier for the body to take in than larger particles exceeding 100 micrometers.
