Microplastics reach the brain in 6 hours
Cardiologist Prof. Dr. Bülent Demir, who says that microplastics in water bottles, plates, and even the air we breathe pose a threat to health, says, “They are even found in our hearts, brains, and kidneys. Microplastics threaten health; they are not limited to the digestive system. Microplastics have been found in the fatty tissue around the heart, inside the left atrium, and even directly within the heart muscle. The body responds to these foreign substances with an inflammatory reaction. This makes blood vessel plaques more fragile, thereby increasing the risk of a heart attack.”
