Plastic pollution is a pressing issue in today’s world, with microplastics being a major concern. A recent study has revealed that humans may be inhaling a significant amount of microplastic particles in their own homes and cars, far more than previously estimated. Researchers from the Université de Toulouse in France collected air samples from apartments and cars, finding that individuals could be breathing in around 68,000 microplastic particles that are invisible to the naked eye.

These microplastics, particularly those smaller than 10 micrometers, pose a greater risk as they can penetrate deep into lung tissues. Unlike larger particles that are easily cleared from the respiratory system, fine particulate matter can release toxic additives and pollutants into the body, potentially leading to health issues such as disrupted endocrine functions and increased cancer risk.

The study, published in PLoS One, highlights the widespread presence of microplastics in both outdoor and indoor environments. Indoor air has been found to contain significantly higher concentrations of microplastics compared to outdoor air, with indoor dust containing 30 times more microplastics. Given that people spend the majority of their time indoors, including a significant portion in cars, the exposure to microplastics through inhalation is a major concern that requires attention.

The researchers emphasize the need for further investigation into the impact of inhaling microplastics on human health, as well as the development of strategies to reduce microplastic pollution in indoor environments. With the ubiquity of microplastics in the atmosphere, it is crucial to address this issue to safeguard public health and the environment.
