The study analyzed fatty plaques from more than 300 patients with arterial disease, finding that over half contained microplastics. This association, though not definitively causal, suggests a disturbing link between plastic pollution and cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n<p>Recent animal and human cell studies have lent further weight to these concerns. Research has shown that microplastics can breach the intestinal barrier, accumulate in organs, and trigger inflammation, gut dysbiosis, and metabolic alterations in rodents. These effects are mirrored in larger mammals and have raised safety concerns regarding food animals, such as chickens, which are known to ingest microplastics.<\/p>\n<p>The pervasive nature of microplastics and plastic additives, and their potential health risks underscore the urgency of addressing plastic pollution. Reducing plastic production and improving waste management are crucial steps toward mitigating these risks. However, given the widespread distribution of plastics, the benefits of such measures may take time to manifest.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentenergyleader.com\/2024\/03\/microplastics-in-human-blood\/\">Environment Energy Leader<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-494\/\">Microplastics in Human Blood: A Health Risk for Stroke and Heart Attacks<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,13776,6437,13777],"class_list":["post-128904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-heart","tag-microplastic","tag-vessels"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128904\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
