Microplastics are also found in the human placenta.
- A team of American researchers has analyzed 62 human cores or placenta using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, demonstrating that all samples had microplastics. The study was published by the journal Toxicological Sciences. According to him, the concentration of microplastics from one ka to another varies greatly, but in all of them a synthetic polymer was found.
The most common and abundant plastic found was polyethylene, which, in addition to 54% of the plastics found, was found in all samples. Polyvinyl chloride and nylon (10% each) are followed, while the remaining 26% are followed by 9 other polymers.
Researchers conclude that the method used is appropriate for the identification and quantification of microplastics in this type of tissue and hope it is useful for the study of toxicological risk.
In previous research, microplastics have also been found in other human samples, such as blood, intestine, and have been shown to be harmful to living things.
This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
