60% of placentas preserved from deliveries that took place in 2006 contained plastic, and 100% in 2021. The study also showed that the size of the plastic fragments, and their chemical nature, have also evolved
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Français : Certains tissus humains sont conservés pour des raisons légales ou d'éventuelles utilisations scientifiques futures, dont des placentas[1]. Ils permettent une surveillance rétrospective de la pollution plastique et de la contamination interne du corps humain. Une étude a en 2023 montré que 60% des placentas conservés à partir d'accouchements ayant eu lieu en 2006 contenait du plastique, et 100% en 2021.
L'étude a aussi montré que la taille des fragments de plastique, et leur nature chimique on aussi évolué[1]. Les auteurs notent qu'il y a aussi là une preuve de plus que les habitants des îles du Pacifique sont également vulnérables à la pollution plastique (source principale : Lien web |langue=en |prénom=Rodrigo Barbano |nom=Weingrill |prénom2=Men-Jean |nom2=Lee |titre=Temporal trends in microplastic accumulation in placentas from pregnancies in Hawaiʻi |url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0160412023004932 |site=Environment International |date=2023-10 |pmid=37741006 |pmcid=PMC10593309 |doi=10.1016/j.envint.2023.108220 |consulté le=2024-08-24 |page=108220)

Some human tissues are preserved for legal reasons or possible future scientific uses, including placentas[1]. They allow retrospective monitoring of plastic pollution and internal contamination of the human body. A study in 2023 showed that 60% of placentas preserved from deliveries that took place in 2006 contained plastic, and 100% in 2021. The study also showed that the size of the plastic fragments, and their chemical nature have also evolved[1]. The authors note that this is also further evidence that Pacific Islanders are also vulnerable to plastic pollution (primary source: Web link |language=en |firstname=Rodrigo Barbano |lastname=Weingrill |firstname2=Men-Jean |lastname2=Lee |title=Temporal trends in microplastic accumulation in placentas from pregnancies in Hawaiʻi |url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0160412023004932 |site=Environment International |date=2023-10 |pmid=37741006 |pmcid=PMC10593309 |doi=10.1016/j.envint.2023.108220 |accessed=2024-08-24 |page=108220) |
