Researchers at Columbia University have found that when water interacts with microplastics, it produces reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are unstable molecules capable of damaging cells. Laboratory experiments showed that exposure to common plastics generates varying amounts of ROS, and in turn, causes damage to mouse red blood cells. Although this does not establish a direct link to human health, the findings suggest a potential mechanism by which microplastics could harm the body, especially as smaller particles increase surface area and ROS formation.
