Low-Density Polyethylene Microplastics in the Blood Seems not Induce Alzheimer’s Disease in Wistar Rat
Journal Title: Public Health Open Access - Year 2023, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Microplastic particles <5 mm in the blood pose health problems to humans. One of the entry points for low density polyethylene microplastics in the human blood is through consumption of contaminated food. These low density polyethylene microplastic particles are found in table salt, canned sardines, beer, sea fish, honey, sugar, tea bags, minerals and drinking water. These findings estimated between 37 to as high as billion microplastic particles from those various food products. The number of low density polyethylene microplastic particles that contaminate food and beverages will continue to increase along with the increase in plastic debris in the environment.
