That study tested 23 preserved testes from cadavers of males who were ages 16 to 88 at the time of their death, then compared the levels of 12 different types of plastics in those testicles with plastics found in 47 dog testes. “The levels of microplastic shards and types of plastics in...
The human testicles had a plastic concentration almost three times higher than that found in the dog testes: 330 micrograms per gram of tissue compared with 123 micrograms. Polyethylene, used in plastic bags and bottles, was the most common microplastic found, followed by PVC. 人类睾丸中的塑料...
Microplastics have been found in the ocean and the air, in our food and water. They have been found in a wide range of body tissues, including the heart, liver, kidneys, and even testicles. But are they actually harming you? Evidence suggests they might, but it's limited in scope. Som...
NEW YORK (AP) — Microplastics have been found in the ocean and the air, in our food and water. They have been found in a wide range of body tissues, including the heart, liver, kidneys and even testicles. But are they actually harming you? Evidence suggests they might, but it’s li...
We produce an immense amount of plastic, which means over time these small flakes have ended up basically everywhere. And I do mean everywhere. Researchers have found microplastics inhuman brainsandtesticles,table salt,at thebottom of remote seas, t...
The epididymis and these glands, more frequently than testicles, can undergo infections and inflammations; therefore, leucocytes are more likely to be found in this part of the male reproductive system. It has been proposed that macrophages can uptake and release MPs through endo- and exocytosis ...

Microplastics can be found in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. They enter ecosystems through improper waste disposal, industrial discharges, and sewage, and atmospheric transport causes their deposition even in the most remote regions of the planet. Plastic fragments can be found in soil, air...
In 2023, studies revealed the presence of microplastics in the testicles and semen of human males, with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) identified as the predominant polymer. The concentration of microplastics in the testes was found to be higher than that in the semen. However, the experiment did ...
