Plastic particles found in cancer patients' lungs
A recent medical study presented at the European Respiratory Society Conference in Barcelona revealed that individuals diagnosed with lung cancer are more likely to have microplastic particles accumulated inside their lungs compared to others. The study involved analyzing samples from 100 patients, and it was found that 70% of them contained these particles, with higher rates among cancer patients. The results suggest that plastic may be linked to increased inflammation that contributes to disease progression; however, studies have not confirmed that plastic is the direct cause of cancer.
