Researchers find greater microplastic burden in lung cancer patients
People with lung cancer are more likely to have microplastics in their lungs and to have larger quantities of microplastics in their lungs, according to research that will be presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
Patients diagnosed with lung cancer found to have more microplastic in their lungs
People with lung cancer are more likely to have microplastics in their lungs and to have larger quantities of microplastics in their lungs, according to research that will be presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
People with lung cancer often have microplastics in their lungs, and in larger amounts. This was shown by research that will be presented at the European Congress.
expert reaction to unpublished study on microplastic burden in lungs found in lung cancer diagnoses
Scientist comments on an unpublished study exploring microplastic burden in lungs found in lung cancer diagnosis, as presented at the European Respiratory Society Congress 2026. Dr Ria Devereux, Environmental Research Fellow at the University of East London’s Sustainability Research Institute, said: Does the press release accurately reflect the science? Is it responsibly written? “There were 100 participants in total: 50 with lung malignancy and…
