'Everyone on Earth Is Exposed': Scientists Map Microplastics Deep Inside Living Tissue

'Everyone on Earth is exposed': Scientists map microplastics deep inside living tissue

A new study from Kingston University in London highlights how microplastics can be detected in living tissue.  Using a noninvasive imaging approach, the researchers mapped these particles in mice in fine detail, offering scientists another tool for examining what follows after exposure. The findings are a reminder that "everyone on Earth is exposed to microplastics," said Dr. Stephen Patrick, one of the researchers involved in the study. What ha…

Microplastics mapped in living tissue for the first time, study finds - Essex Magazine

Microplastics have been mapped deep within the tissue of living organisms in fine detail for the first time, in a new research study involving Kingston University. The study, published in Advanced Science, shows non-invasive methods can be used to detect microplastics deep in the living tissue of mice. Previously, this was possible only through dissection. […]
