Micro- and nanoplastics , tiny particles that can be ingested or inhaled, have not only been found all over the world including in fresh Antarctic snow but also throughout the body, including the brain, heart and lungs.
Microplastics in cells that come into contact with plastic particles smaller than 0.25 micrometres are more likely to migrate, potentially leading to secondary tumours, or metastasis.
Austrian researchers are now working to establish to what extent plastic particles promote the formation of tumours.
They also highlighted the risk to unborn children with microplastics being passed to embryos.
