8th-grader Anushka Sable, a 14-year-old eighth grader, made a significant discovery about the potential impact of microplastics on the human body during a school science project. She found that plastic particles in human white blood cells could alter their properties and lead to tumor-like formations, leading to increased inflammation. This discovery was discovered through a 3D cell culture experiment where monocytes, which help in the body's inflammatory response, began to absorb some of the plastics. This suggests that a range of organs could be at risk of cancer due to the presence of these plastics. However, this discovery could lead to further study and possible treatments for the harmful chemicals found in our bodies from microplastic exposure. The Association of American Medical Colleges has found microoplastics in various locations throughout the human bodies, including breast milk, placentas, testicles, hearts, livers, and kidneys. The article discusses how to reduce microplastastic exposure by investing in an air purifier or water filter, growing your own food and avoiding single-use plastic when possible, recycling any material we use, recycling, and preventing trash from entering vital water sources.
