Peer-reviewed study’s findings raises fresh question on the toxic substances’ impact on fertility
Microplastics have been found for the first time in human ovary follicular fluid, raising a new round of questions about the ubiquitous and toxic substances’ potential impact on women’s fertility.
The new peer-reviewed research published in Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety checked for microplastics in the follicular fluid of 18 women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment at a fertility clinic in Salerno, Italy, and detected them in 14.
Follicular fluid provides essential nutrients and biochemical signals for developing eggs. Contaminating that process with bits of plastic quite likely has implications for fertility, hormonal balance and overall reproductive health, the authors wrote.
Looks like plastic might stunt the human race. How about that ending? Nukes? Meteor? Zombies? Plague?
Nope, fucking plastic.

once again, corporations producing shit that was never researched to be safe, while politicians doing zero for corporate accountability
Oh hey, its in BOTH sexes balls! LOVELY…
Great, that’s just great
Ok so my plan:
Embrace the microplastics. Become one with them. They will be with you forever, so be with them forever. The cancer, or dementia, or stroke, or glacoma, or sterility is nothing you can prevent. Plus it’s cheaper embalming!
I mean, considering water without microplastics essentially no longer exists, is this really a surprise?
