Microplastics Found in Human and Dog Testes, Raising Health Concerns

New research reveals widespread contamination and potential links to declining sperm counts and reproductive health issues.

Microplastics were detected in all tested samples of human and dog testicular tissue.
The most common types of microplastics found were polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride.
Researchers observed a correlation between higher microplastic levels and lower testicular weight.
Microplastics are pervasive in food, water, and air, making exposure difficult to avoid.
Experts call for policy changes to reduce plastic production and limit exposure.
