A new study has revealed that microplastics were detected in every human placenta tested, proving that these tiny plastic particles can cross into the womb. Researchers also discovered that placentas from premature births contained higher levels of microplastics, raising questions about whether exposure might contribute to early delivery though further studies are needed to confirm this link.
This finding sparks urgent concerns about how plastic pollution could influence fetal development and long-term health, highlighting just how deeply microplastics are infiltrating human biology.
