US EditionMicroplastics found in every human testicle in study
- A new study revealed human testicles contain microplastics and nanoplastics at levels three times higher than animal testes and human placentas.
- The study compared the levels of 12 types of plastics in 23 human testicles with 47 dog testes from cadavers aged 16 to 88.
- Researcher Campen noted the levels of microplastics in human testes were significantly higher than in dogs, despite dogs consuming from the floor.

Microplastics found in testicles and blood clots, sparking more health concerns: studies
Microplastics are making their way into various parts of humans’ and animals’ bodies, including the testicles, according to a recent study published in Toxicological Sciences. This has dangerous implications for both male sperm quality and fertility.
Each of the men and dogs studied by American researchers had traces of microplastics in their testicles, substances that can be linked to both environmental pollution and infertility.
Microplastics are in human testicles. It's still not clear how they got there.
No human organ is safe from microplastic contamination, it seems — not even the testicles. Researchers at the University of Mexico recently tested 70 samples of testicular tissue — 47 from dogs and 23 from humans — and found microplastics in every single one. The attention-grabbing study, published last week in the journal Toxicological Sciences, highlights microplastics’ “pervasive presence” in male reproductive systems, and their potential co…
