A study at the University of New Mexico found potentially toxic microplastics in 100 percent of human placenta samples tested, with an average concentration of 128.6 micrograms per gram of placenta. These microplastics, linked to health issues like cancers and fertility problems, are believed to impact all mammalian life. The study used a new method, pyrolysis-gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS), to extract and analyze the tiny particles. While it's too early to panic about exposure to microplastics during pregnancy, researchers believe that the presence of microplastics in the placenta likely means they reached the developing fetus, possibly through a transport process involving fats.
