Upon examining data from the eight participants who came from Austria, Finland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland and Russia, the researchers discovered that all of the fecal samples contained hundreds of pieces of plastic.
These findings, which were published in theAnnals of Internal Medicine, showed thatpeople ingest at least 50,000 microplasticsannually.
Despite the various studies on the adverse effects of microplastics on the environment and animal life, experts have yet to determine how exactly exposure to microplastics affects humans. However, researchers have expressed their worries about how microplastics canaccumulate toxic chemicals, which may then enter the bloodstream once you consume tainted food or beverages like bottledwater.
Microplastics and gut health
According to the researchers fromtheMedical University of Vienna(MedUni Vienna) in Austria who conducted the study, you ingest microplastics when you eat certain kinds of foods and beverages.
Study findings also showed that it’s not just humans who unknowingly have microplastics in their bodies: Even aquatic animals are exposed to microplastics, which then enters your body when you consume fish and other kinds of seafood.

As usual, I cant help but wonder if this conclusion about micro plastics permeating the ecology is totally accurate. How much of this micro-pollution is inert plastic? How much is intelligent evil dust? What indeed is smart dust made out of? Metals? Plastic? As Assange says, it, like micro-plastics, is scattered everywhere.

An article I read a few days ago, nomad, indicated that tire and brake dust are the main source of plastic microparticles.
