Scientists associated microplastics and premature birth
The pollution of the body of the mother with microplastics increases the risk of premature birth. About this, as the British newspaper The Guardian writes , the research results presented at the annual meeting of the Society on Mother and Flood Medicine in Denver.
Scientists have found that the level of concentration of microplasty and nanoplasty in the placenta of premature children was 50% higher than in the placenta of children born on time.
According to the publication, such results became a “big surprise” for researchers - the levels of pollution by microplastics of the placenta were much higher than in the blood, which suggests that microplastics accumulated in the placenta. At the same time, the researchers expected that with shorter pregnancies in the placenta, less microplasty would have time to be, but this turned out to be wrong.

“Our study shows that the accumulation of plastic can contribute to the occurrence of premature birth,” said Professor Kiersti Aagarda from the Boston Children's Hospital in the United States. She noted that the data obtained can be added "to the growing array of evidence that demonstrate the real risk of plastic on human health."
In turn, Dr. Enriko Barrozo from the Bayilor medical college in Texas emphasized that the results of the study speak of the relationship of pollution by microplasty and premature birth, but do not indicate that one is the cause of the other.

He also recalled that the reasons for the birth of two-thirds of premature babies before the deadline are still unknown. At the same time, premature birth is the most common cause of child mortality in the world.
According to Guardian, in 2020 microplastics was first discovered in the placenta, sperm, infants, as well as the brain , liver and bone marrow. The publication notes that the effect of microplasty on health is still little -studied, but scientists have already associated him with an increased risk of strokes, heart attacks, and also came to the conclusion that he could provoke cancer.
