Researchers Explore Blood Filtration Technique to Remove Microplastics from the Body

Scientists have found microplastics in human blood and believe a blood-filtration technique called therapeutic apheresis can help remove them. The procedure filters blood through a machine to remove abnormal proteins, unhealthy cells, and other substances. The technique has already been used to treat various conditions, and early research suggests it may be effective in removing microplastics. Further studies are needed to confirm the results and determine the technique's effectiveness in scrubbing microplastics from the bloodstream.
