Researcher Matthew Campen is isolating microplastics and nanoplastics from human tissues, notably the brain, using a chemical digestion process. Microplastics are pervasive in the environment and have been detected in various ecosystems and human organs, raising alarms about potential health risks. The complexity and diversity of microplastics complicate the understanding of their effects on human health, with ongoing studies needed to ascertain their biological impact. Campen’s analysis aims to illuminate the health implications of microplastic accumulation in human tissues, providing critical insights into this environmental health concern.
Microplastics' ubiquity in the environment and human body raises concerns about their varying impacts on health, as scientists strive to understand their effects on living tissues.
To identify the effects of microplastics, researchers isolate them from human tissues, but determining the exact impacts on health is still a challenging endeavor.
