A New Dimension of Plastic Pollution
For the first time, scientists have confirmed that microplastics circulate in the human bloodstream. A groundbreaking 2022 study (Plastic Particles in Human Blood, Environment International) found detectable microplastics in 77% of the samples examined – including polyethylene and polystyrene, which are plastics commonly used in packaging and food containers.
This finding marks a turning point: plastic pollution is no longer just an environmental problem, but a biological one.
How Microplastics Enter the Body – And What They Do There
Microplastics enter the body through drinking water, food, and inhaled air. After absorption, nanoscale fragments can penetrate cell membranes and bind to proteins – with potential consequences for the immune system and oxidative metabolism.
New toxicological studies (Toxicological Impacts of Micro- and Nanoplastics on Mammalian Systems, 2023) show correlations with inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune disorders, which may contribute to cardiovascular or neurological diseases.
Furthermore, microplastic particles act as transport vehicles for chemical additives and heavy metals, further enhancing their toxicity in the body.
Protection for What Flows Within Us
Conventional filter systems cannot capture particles of this size.
SYDROS therefore relies on multi-stage molecular filtration, which specifically removes micro- and nanoplastics, PFAS, and hormone-active substances – thus protecting water and health from within.
