The inner plastic ocean: Monitoring microplastics in blood with the Attune CytPix

Summary

This transcript details a scientific presentation on the detection of microplastics in human blood and other organs, highlighting the research of a team investigating their potential health impacts. The research began in 2018 following the discovery of microplastics in humans and employs advanced techniques like pyrolysis-GC-MS, flow cytometry, and microscopy. The speaker discusses challenges in detecting microplastics, the skepticism from other scientists, and the ongoing work to assess immunological effects. With interdisciplinary collaboration, the research aims to understand the risks of microplastic exposure and its effects on immune health, generating media attention and pushing scientific boundaries.
