Particulate Contamination of Human Placenta: Plastic and non-plastic

2024-03-06

Abstract excerpt

Recent evidence indicates that the human womb is contaminated with a variety of particulate contaminants. Microplastics (MPs, tiny plastic particles ( < 5 mm) generated by the breakdown of larger plastic products in the environment) accumulation in human placenta has recently been described. In addition, recent evidence has correlated the number of air pollution particulates in term placentas to the loading of th...
