In this study, it was found that microplastics and nano -forming pollution pollution would be much higher on the placenta than the birth of the middle pregnancy.
The level is much higher than previously detected by blood, suggesting that small plastic particles are accumulated in the placenta. However, the high average level seen in a shorter pregnancy was a “great surprise” for researchers. This is because longer conditions are expected to lead to more accumulation.
Premature birth Main cause of infant death Dr. Enriko Barozo, the Faculty of Medicine, Texas, Texas, said it was unknown about two -thirds of all premature births around the world. The established link between air pollution and millions of premature birth was spurred to investigate the research team for plastic pollution.
New research demonstrates the relationship between microplastics and premature birth. In order to determine whether a link is a causal relationship, further research is required with cell culture and animal models. Micro plastic is known to cause inflammation of human cells, and inflammation is one of the factors that promotes the start of labor.
Microplastics broken from plastic waste pollute the entire planet to the deepest sea from the top of Mt. Everest. It is already known that people consume small particles by breathing food, water, and them.
Microplastics were first detected in the placenta in 2020, have been found in semen, breast milk, brain, liver, and bone marrow, and show a large amount of pollution of the people. The impact of human health is hardly known, but Microplastics are related to stroke and heart attacks.
“Our study suggests that plastic accumulation may contribute to the occurrence of premature birth,” said Professor Kjersti Aagaard at Boston Pediatric Hospital in the United States. “In combination with other recent research, this study adds a series of evidence to show the real risk of exposure to human health and illness.”
the study It was announced at the Annual Meeting of the Maternal Fetal Medicine Association held in Denver on Thursday and submitted to an academic magazine. Researchers analyzed 100 placenta from the full period (average 37.2 weeks) and analyzed 75 premature births (34 weeks) from the Houston area.
An analysis using high -sensitivity mass spectrometics found a 203 micrograph plastic per early placenta tissue (µg/g). This is more than 50 % higher than 130 µg/g of the entire period.
Twelve plastic plastic is detected and used in plastic bottles, PVCs, polyurethane, polycarbonate, and there is the most significant difference between a complete birth placenta and a premature birth placenta.
Some mothers have higher risk of premature birth due to age, ethnicity and social status. However, even if these factors were considered, there were plastic particles and a strong link for premature birth.
“This study showed a relevance, not a causal relationship,” said Barozo. “However, I think it is important to increase the relationship between people’s perception of microplastics and potential human health.”
He said that the effectiveness of the action to reduce the exposure of people to micro plastic also needed urgent research. “These interventions need to be researched to show that these plastic has the advantage of avoiding these plastic.”
