Microplastics Detected in Human and Canine Testicles

New study reveals pervasive presence of microplastics, raising concerns about reproductive health impacts.

  • Researchers found microplastics in all human and dog testicle samples analyzed.
  • The average concentration of microplastics was nearly three times higher in human samples than in canine samples.
  • Polyethylene and PVC were the most common types of microplastics detected.
  • Scientists suggest a potential link between microplastics and declining sperm counts.
  • Further research is needed to understand the full health implications of these findings.
