Microplastics in Human Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid
Respirology, Volume 30, Issue 12, Page 1141-1152, December 2025.We established a microplastic detection method using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The method detected microplastics, particularly those under 10 μm, in all patients, linked to lung and systemic inflammation. The potential relationship between microplastics and lung and systemic inflammation provides a foundation for larger studies on their health ...
