We can now add testicles to the list of places where microplastics have managed to spread – alongside human placentas, ancient rocks, clogged arteries, blue whales, baby poop, the wilderness of Antarctica, near the peak of Mount Everest, and the bottom...
New research suggests microplastics have crossed a unique blood barrier in human testicles. An expert weighs in on what this means, and what you can do.
Human testicles contain microplastics and nanoplastics at levels three times higher than animal testes and human placentas, a new small study found.“These plastics are often
Years of research has shown microscopic pieces of plastic have made their way into human bodies, including the heart, kidney, liver, testicles and brain.
Researchers found high levels of microplastics in human and dog testes. They say their presence could be behind a trend in diminishing sperm quantity and quality around the globe.
It's the latest corner of the human body where tiny bits of plastic have turned up -- the testicles. The new research, published this month, shows these microplastics are in both dog and human testicles. Lab studies have previously shown these compounds can affect sperm health in animals.
Microplastics are making their way into various parts of humans’ and animals’ bodies, including the testicles, according to a recent study published in Toxicological Sciences. This has dangerous implications for both male sperm quality and fertility.
