The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
that said the presence of microplastics and nanoplastics in placenta and in that first stool from babies which shows us that those microplastics and nanop Plastics are getting into the developing fetus well that does I think raise level of concern
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
and that's really got people concerned because what this means is that microplastics and nanop Plastics that mothers are ingesting or that they somehow have lodged in their bodies are making their way to the fetus
you can find them in not just the upper lungs but in the lower lungs so they're getting deposited in the lower lungs you can find them in the bloodstream from from a blood draw you can find them in human placenta and you can find them in What's called the meconium which is the first stool that a baby takes
Microplastics were also found in 100% of human placentas tested.
even human placentas have been found to contain these toxic compounds.
a study discovered microplastics in human placentas collected after birth the microplastic particles were found on both the maternal and Fetal sides of the placenta as well as within the ammonic membranes so this suggests that microplastics can cross the placental barrier potentially exposing the developing fetus to these particles during critical periods of growth
