Scientists have discovered that placentas from premature births contain significantly higher concentrations of micro and nanoplastics than those from full-term births, raising new concerns about environmental impacts on pregnancy. The findings, presented at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine's annual meeting, suggest these tiny plastic particles may play a role in premature birth. Using advanced mass spectrometry, researchers analyzed 175 placentae - 100 from full-term births and 75 from preterm deliveries.
