Study Reveals MOST People’s Lungs Now Riddled With Microplastics Found in Disposable Masks

Fact checked

A shocking new study has revealed that most people have microplastics, commonly found in disposable masks, in all areas of their lungs.

Not only are masks uncomfortable, make it hard to breathe, and essentially pointless, but surgical masks worn during the pandemic could have a far unhealthier effect than we all thought. According to a new study published in the Science of the Total Environmentmicroplastics commonly used in surgical masks have been discovered in the lungs of most people.

According to thoracic surgeon Dr. Osita Onugha, the presence of microplastics in the lungs is a public health ticking time bomb with the potential to cause an explosion of cancer cases in the coming years.

Researchers in the United Kingdom looked at lung tissue obtained from study participants and found microplastics in all regions of the lungs, including the deeper section. According to the study, this is the first time microplastics have been found in human lung tissue samples using μFTIR spectroscopy.

Though the researchers did not confirm the source of the microplastic contamination, the plastic fibers found in the lungs are most commonly found in surgical masks.

TFTP reports: Researchers identified 39 microplastics in 11 of the 13 lung tissue samples, with an average of 3 microplastics per sample.

There were 12 types of microplastic found in samples.

The 4 microplastics present in the most considerable quantities included:

  • polypropylene (PP): found in carpets, clothing, automotive plastics, and surgical masks
  • polyethylene terephthalate (PET): present in clothing, beverage, and food containers
  • resin: a constituent of protective coating and paints
  • polyethylene (PE): a component of food wrappers, milk containers, toys, and detergent bottles

In 2020, the amount of disposable face masks littered into the environment increased by a staggering 9000 percent. Billions of people strapped polypropylene masks to their faces every day for two years and sucked their air through plastic fibers for 8 hours or more. To not have discovered plastic in lungs would have been surprising.

The confirmation of microplastics in the lungs also backs up a study conducted in 2020 which predicted a microplastic inhalation risk posed by wearing masks.

According to researchers in that study, the inhalation risk posed by spherical- and fiber-like microplastics was high while wearing a mask. Unfortunately, researchers in that study continued to recommend the use of plastic masks despite the risk of inhalation.

Dr. Osita Onugha, thoracic surgeon and assistant professor of thoracic surgery at Saint John’s Cancer Institute at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California told Medical News Today that the implications for microplastics in the lungs are unknown given our current knowledge on this type of contamination but it can’t be good.

“The real question is what does something within the body […] do? The body does not like things that cause inflammation […] and things that are foreign [like plastics]. So, if it leads to chronic inflammation, that’s where you can have things that develop years down the road,” Onugha said.

As MNT reports, Dr. Onugha said a follow-up study should address if microplastics within the lungs can lead to inflammatory lung disease or cancer. He added that it should be carried out in a significant population to determine “a cause and effect.”

When researchers do finally determine the source of contamination, it won’t take genius to figure out that strapping an endless supply of microplastics to the entrance of your lungs increases your chance of breathing them in.

States who continue to force children to wear masks, like New York, would do well to realize the potentially catastrophic health impacts they are having unsuspecting, innocent lives.

  1. The Royal college got Ferguson to send his predictions to Fauci who then imposed everything using emergency power laws to take control over the President who by law had to do as he was told You Americans are so brain damaged and defended by your denials you font even understand that
    If you got lungs full of it The that’s your fault for bring the biggest enablers and facilitators of the Globalist new world order agendas on any people’s on earth And your so brain damaged and drug fu**”ed and such victims of your delusions of grandeur you would be too blind to even see that too. Your like the Bible say, you look but you don’t see,you listen but you don’t hear.
    It’s all your fault collectively for letting yourselves be fooled, like children, chasing after bags of lollies.

      • Your lungs are constantly moving particulates out thru the actions of breathing. their are tiny hairs in the linings of your lungs that grow at an angle towards your throat, when your breath in, the hairs move 90 degrees, when you breath out, they go back to the angle incrementally moving debree up towards the mouth. Coughing does this more violently.
        Problem comes with people that have lost the hairs, they do accumulate crap in their lungs that can not be removed by this natural action.
        So for this to happen to you, your lungs have to be damaged already.

  2. Not my problem. The few times I wore a face diaper, it was a cloth one that said “Worn by force, not by fear”
