Joe Royle, CEO of the group that funded the study, Common Seas, said the findings of the study are “extremely concerning”, adding: “We are already eating, drinking and breathing in plastic.
“It’s in the deepest sea trench and on top of Mount Everest. And yet, plastic production is set to double by 2040.”
The findings were obtained from an analysis of blood samples from 22 donors, with findings showing some 17 donors had a quantifiable mass of microplastics in their blood.
Samples were tested for five different types of particles, including polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), Polyethylene (PE), and polyethene terephthalate (PET).
