A study reports plastic residues in the blood of animals sampled in the Amazon, Cerrado, and Pantanal, indicating widespread environmental contamination even in remote regions. The finding is based on a single study and its methodology and sample size are not detailed, so the extent of exposure and health impacts remain uncertain. This matters as it underscores the global reach of plastic pollution and potential ecological risks.
