Tiny fragments of plastic have become ubiquitous in our environment and our bodies.

Places with higher concentrations of microplastics see higher rates of hypertension, diabetes, stroke and other noncommunicable diseases.

Researchers said the new findings add to a small but growing body of evidence that microplastic pollution represents an emerging health threat.

The presence of microplastics in plaques in the heart's arteries could play a role in the onset or exacerbation of serious heart problems.

Eesha Nachnani of the University School of Nashville will present the study on Monday, March 31, 2025 , at 9:00 a.m. CT.
