So easily predictable. That, as a point of fact, this was brought to my readers attention in January 2021 at my big tech censored blog. YES, January 2021!** **January 04/2021: That was 16 months ago.

Since then, other studies have examined the potential lung damage caused by plastic materials.** **According to research, *plastic degrades slowly, so once in the lungs, it tends to stay there and build up in volume.* Some studies have found that the immune system can attack these foreign objects, causing prolonged inflammation that can lead to diseases such as cancer.** ![](https://i0.wp.com/pennyforyourthoughts2.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/image-42.png?resize=375%2C213&ssl=1)Open your eyes- engage your brain- [The most recent news from the Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/06/microplastics-found-deep-in-lungs-of-living-people-for-first-time) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Particles discovered in tissue of **11 out of 13 patients undergoing surgery, with polypropylene** (face masks of all kinds) and PET most common > > **Microplastic pollution has been discovered lodged deep in the lungs of living people for the first time**. The particles were found in almost all the samples analysed. **Do you think two years of mask wearing could have anything to do with it? Let’s see..ah, no rocket science necessary. Obviously, yes.** > The scientists said microplastic pollution was now ubiquitous across the planet, making human exposure unavoidable and meaning “there is an increasing concern regarding the hazards” to health. > > Samples were taken from tissue removed from 13 patients undergoing surgery and microplastics were found in 11 cases. The most common particles were **polypropylene**, used in plastic packaging **(FACE MASKS)** and pipes, and PET, used in bottles. **Two previous studies had found microplastics at similarly high rates in lung tissue taken during autopsies.** > > **People were already k**nown to [breathe in the tiny particles](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/dec/27/revealed-microplastic-pollution-is-raining-down-on-city-dwellers),**( FACE MASKS)** as well as consuming them [via food](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jun/05/people-eat-at-least-50000-plastic-particles-a-year-study-finds) and [water](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/sep/06/plastic-fibres-found-tap-water-around-world-study-reveals). Workers exposed to high levels of microplastics are also known to have developed disease.**(FACE MASKS)** > > **(FACE MASKS)** Microplastics were [detected in human blood](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/mar/24/microplastics-found-in-human-blood-for-first-time) for the first time in March, showing the particles can travel around the body and may lodge in organs. The impact on health is as yet unknown. But researchers are concerned as [microplastics cause damage to human cells](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/dec/08/microplastics-damage-human-cells-study-plastic) in the laboratory and [air pollution particles](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2019/may/17/air-pollution-may-be-damaging-every-organ-and-cell-in-the-body-finds-global-review) are already known to enter the body and cause millions of early deaths a year.**(FACE MASKS)** > > **(FACE MASKS)** “We did not expect to find the highest number of particles in the lower regions of the lungs, or particles of the sizes we found,” said Laura Sadofsky at Hull York medical school in the UK,a senior author of the study. “It is surprising as the airways are smaller in the lower parts of the lungs and we would have expected particles of these sizes to be filtered out or trapped before getting this deep.”**(FACE MASKS)** > > “This data provides an important advance in the field of air pollution, microplastics and human health,” she said. The information could be used to create realistic conditions for laboratory experiments to determine health impacts. > > **A [US study of lung cancer patients](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9610792/) in 1998 found plastic and plant fibres (such as cotton) in more than 100 samples. In cancerous tissue, 97% of samples contained the fibres and in non-cancerous samples, 83% were contaminated.** > > **A recent review assessed cancer risk and concluded: “More detailed research on how micro- and nanoplastics affect the structures and processes of the human body, and whether and how they can transform cells and induce carcinogenesis, is urgently needed, particularly in light of the exponential increase in plastic production.”** **FACE MASKS** **FACE MASKS FACE MASKS FACE MASKS** **The msm won’t write those words.
