A recent study by Rutgers University researchers has raised concerns about microplastics being present in the lungs, hearts, and brains of newborns. The study found that these tiny plastic pieces can pass through the placenta during pregnancy and even expose the developing fetus. While the presence of microplastics at such an early stage is alarming, scientists are still unsure about the long-term implications of this exposure.
