Questions over microplastics findings don’t mean we are safe, scientists say

Scientists have disagreed over methods used in a number of high-profile studies that found microplastics throughout the human body., Having been criticised, the researchers who worked on them say that the scientific community must continue to improve on these results. ‘I would not dismiss the papers coming out – they are using the best methods available and the consistency across labs is becoming clear,’ Matthew Campen from the University of New Mexico (UNM) tells Chemistry World.
