Discovery and quantification of plastic particle pollution in human blood
Abstract
A method was validated for polymer mass concentrations in human whole blood. Polymers from plastics were detected and quantified in human blood. Polymers in human blood represent several high production volume plastics. Blood donors were from general public. Quality control of background plastic throughout sampling and analysis is key.
