Article Synopsis
- Microplastic (MP) pollution poses a global threat to all living organisms, yet human-related research is still limited, particularly regarding health implications.
- This study analyzed the presence and types of MPs in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples from patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and a control group.
- Results showed a significant detection of MPs in BAL samples of ILD patients, suggesting a connection between MPs and respiratory diseases, particularly in patients with fibrotic forms of ILD, indicating the need for further research on their health impacts.
