Eli5: How do micro plastics get out of our bodies?

1.15K viewsBiologyOther

I know a lot of people say they don’t but based on what iv seen we consume LOTS of micro plastics iv even seen a study that says we eat a credit cards worth a week if that’s true then there must be some way for our body to remove them since otherwise we’d have too much plastic in us I also heard that there is plastic in our livers and testicles . How does our body remove all of that and how much would donating blood help?

It cant. Thats what makes then possibly such a terrible thing to discover inside the human body. As far as science knows they just accumulate. We don’t yet know the true consequences of this as this has only recently been confirmed, but there is also no known mechanism by which they become removed.
