Microplastics From Masks Found Deep in Lungs of the Living - Researchers found 39 microplastics in surgical lung samples from 11 of 13 people. There were 12 types that would commonly be found in plastic bottles, twine, clothing and surgical masks. A respirator specialist says surgical masks don't meet the legal definition of a mask but rather are "breathing barriers." He was emphatic they are shedding microplastics small enough to be inhaled. A data analysis of cases, hospitalizations and deaths in Kansas revealed counties with mask mandates had higher mortality rates than those without mask mandates. Once inhaled or consumed, microplastics can be found in your bloodstream in particles small enough to cross membrane barriers.
