Ce se întâmplă cu microplasticele odată ajunse în apă? Noi îngrijorări pentru sănătate • Newsweek România

Microplastics can trigger harmful chemical reactions in water, generating reactive radicals that may damage biological structures. Researchers found that these particles become chemically active upon contact with water, leading to potential health risks. The study highlights the need for further investigation into the effects of microplastics on human health, as they can alter surrounding water and affect cells. Common activities can produce microplastics, raising concerns about their presence in everyday life. Current research aims to understand how these particles may impact fetal tissues and explore ways to reduce exposure.
