Tests suggest that very small pieces of plastic may react with water in our bodies and cause harm.
Scientists have linked very small pieces of plastic to many health problems. Now, tests in a lab suggest how these pieces may harm the body. The plastic may react with water inside us.
This reaction can make tiny chemical particles. These particles react very easily and can cause damage inside the body. They can also cause swelling, a sign of the body's response to harm. The tests suggest a possible reason for the health problems linked to these small pieces of plastic.
