medium article 2 min

Un creciente número de investigaciones científicas ha alertado sobre la presencia de microplásticos en el cuerpo humano y su potencial riesgo para la salud. Estudios han detectado microplásticos en órganos como el hígado, riñones y cerebro, demostrando que pueden atravesar la barrera hematoencefálica. La acumulación de microplásticos en órganos depurativos y su presencia en placas de colesterol sugieren dificultades para su eliminación y posibles reacciones inflamatorias. Especialistas del Hospital Clínic Barcelona advierten que estas reacciones podrían dañar las arterias y aumentar el riesgo de ictus. Debido a la omnipresencia de los plásticos en el entorno, evitar la exposición a microplásticos se ha convertido en un desafío para la salud pública.
