I was reading somewhere you can lower the level of PFAS in your blood by donating it.
Comment on Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 day agoThe worst part: postpartum women have lower levels of microplastics than other adults.

So you’re saying the baby took some of the plastic out of them, that’s horribly depressing at least they got 10 to 15 point IQ boost in return

Might be that. Although your body goes into absolute overdrive during pregnancy, and it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that some of the immune system reactions that kick in manage to eject some level of plastic microparticulates

Seems Like something people should be definitely looking into to find out why, with the state of science in America It’s probably not going to be here

I’ve thought more about it. I bet there’s fucking loads in the placenta.

Most likely its the same reason blood donation lowers microplastic levels in blood. Production of new cells that aren’t tainted with it. A woman’s blood volume increases by 40% during pregnancy. Of course ill freely admit thats just a hypothesis and you’re probably right, there would be benefit into studying it.
