Study: Patients With Cardiovascular Disease Had Higher Rates of Microplastics

Those with high rates of microplastics in their arteries were 4.5 times more likely to have a heart-related incident.

A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that there may be a strong link between microplastics and cardiovascular disease.
