Microplastics found in every human semen sample tested in study (www.theguardian.com)

Microplastic pollution has been found in all human semen samples tested in a study, and researchers say further research on the potential harm to reproduction is “imperative”. Sperm counts in men have been falling for decades and 40% of low counts remain unexplained, although chemical pollution has been implicated by many...

“…a new study from researchers in China reports finding microplastics in blood clots surgically removed from arteries in the heart and brain, and deep veins in the lower legs.” - Corporate greed and colluding regulators are poisoning us all folks.

Google search thinks you should use glue to stick together a pizza as its AI is trained on Reddit, where 11 years ago a user called “fucksmith” posted suggesting it was a good idea.

found in every in study
say discovery may be linked to decades-long decline in counts in men around the world
Scientists tested 23 human and 47 from . They found microplastic in every sample. The human testicles had been preserved and so their sperm count could not be measured. However, the sperm count in the dogs' testes could be assessed and was lower in samples with higher contamination with PVC

Only two studies, and both are small, but it should worry even the rich. They can’t avoid them. How ironic if humanity’s pollution is a leading factor in the extinction of the species!

No big bang, just a sad whimper.

The crisis:

found in every human testicle in study. Scientists say discovery may be linked to decades-long decline in sperm counts in men around the world. Sperm counts in men have been falling for decades, with CHEM POLUT such as pesticides implicated by many studies. Microplastics: discovered in human blood, placentas & breast milk, indicating widespread contamination of people’s bodies -shown to cause damage to human cells in the lab.

Hmm, people making their own nut milks for their health with "nut milk bags" made out of nylon mesh apparently are dosing themselves with microplastics. (bought some cotton ones, instead). #microplastics
