A new study published by the American Chemical Society said that a team of doctors in China monitored the presence of tens of thousands of plastic particles, or what is known as “microplastics”, in the hearts of some patients.
After monitoring microplastic particles in human blood and placenta, here is a new study that explodes a surprise after monitoring these particles in heart tissue as well.
According to the new study published by the American Chemical Society, a team of doctors in China detected the presence of tens of thousands of plastic particles, or what is known as “microplastics”, in the heart for the first time.

Scientists say that the plastic particles detected in the human body are usually used in the manufacture of clothes, food containers, window frames, or even water pipes.
As part of the study, the scientists collected heart tissue samples and blood samples from fifteen patients during surgeries. Nine types of plastic were found in five types of heart tissue.
In an initial attempt to explain the appearance of plastic in cardiac tissues, experts did not rule out the possibility of plastic reaching human organs through direct medical intervention. However, previous studies indicated that plastic may infiltrate the human body through the mouth or nose.
How did plastic particles reach human hearts?
So did plastic really get out of control, and what are the health consequences of its arrival in our bodies? .. Comments consultant interventional cardiologist Dr. Muhammad Andron, in an interview with “Sky News Arabia”, saying.
Plastic particles have a type that is identical to the body and does not pose a threat to it, and it has a non-conforming type that can cause infections in the body. In the future, these molecules may explain some diseases, such as heart disease and some cancers, but currently this cannot be confirmed.. What we confirm is the presence of these small molecules in the heart. People who live in a polluted environment, or a factory village, are more likely to have these microplastics in their bodies. These plastic particles cannot be seen with the naked eye, without a microscope they cannot be seen as they are linked to pollution, as they enter the body through inhalation into the lung and from there to the heart tissue and then into the blood. From it, we send a message to everyone to pay attention to the issue of environmental pollution, because in the end it can lead to diseases that we do not know about until now.
