• Ecovia Renewables flagged new ERS Congress research linking higher microplastic loads in lungs with lung cancer cases.
• Study of 100 bronchoscopy patients found detectable microplastics in 70% of respiratory systems.
• Lung cancer subgroup of 50 patients showed a higher microplastic burden, with polyethylene and polypropylene most common.
• Analysis framed the findings as a catalyst for shifting away from degrading plastics toward bio-based, biodegradable alternatives to reduce microplastic exposure.
