NEW DELHI:

The project, SPARC (Scheme for Promotion of Academic and Research Center), under the ministry of education, is undertaking training and capacity building sessions for clinical researchers from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), environmentalists, and pharmacists. These sessions aim to equip healthcare professionals with the skills to identify microplastics and address microplastic-related health issues using innovative methodologies.

Multiple studies in the past have found microplastics in human bodies, from blood, sperm, and placenta to breast milk, leaving researchers worried about the potential health impacts on developing fetuses.
