Microplastics Found to Trigger Cancer-Linked Changes in Lung Cells

08 Sep 2025

Description

Microplastics were found to trigger cancer-like changes in healthy lung cells, including increased mobility, DNA damage, and activated survival pathways Inhaled particles bypass your body's defenses and embed deep in your lungs, where they silently disrupt cellular function without causing obvious inflammation A review of 31 studies confirmed that microplastics harm your lungs, gut, and reproductive organs even at exposure levels that mimic everyday life Smaller nanoplastics are especially dangerous because they cross into your bloodstream, reaching your liver, brain, and other organs where they cause long-term damage Natural strategies like psyllium, chitosan, probiotics, and autophagy-enhancing nutrients help trap and remove plastic particles before they're absorbed
