**Your Liver May Be Filling With Plastic – and Scientists Are Alarmed**

By Alan Williams, University of Plymouth - Published on 19 May 2026

Scientists warn that microplastics accumulating in the liver may worsen liver disease and pose a growing global health threat. Microplastics may be doing more than polluting oceans and ecosystems — scientists now believe they could also be accumulating in the human liver and contributing to the growing global burden of liver disease. Researchers studying environmental [...]
