Plastic fibers found in cancer patients' lungs
A recent medical study, presented at the European Respiratory Society Conference in Barcelona, revealed that lung cancer patients face a higher accumulation of microplastics in their lungs compared to others. The study examined samples from 100 patients, showing that 70% of them contained these particles, with significantly higher levels among those with cancer. While the findings do not directly confirm that plastic causes cancer, contaminated particles could lead to inflammation that contributes to its development, or it’s possible that the diseased lung retains impurities differently.
