Microplastics Ubiquitous in Human and Dog Testicles, Study Finds

Scientists at the University of New Mexico have discovered microplastics in every testicle sample from both dogs and humans, raising concerns about male fertility. The study found that higher levels of PVC in canine tissue correlated with lower sperm counts, suggesting that microplastics could interfere with reproductive health. The findings highlight the pervasive presence of microplastics and the urgent need to address plastic pollution to protect future generations.
