Özet

To the Editor,

I read with great interest the article by Guo et al. [1], entitled

“Discovery and analysis of microplastics in human bone marrow” (Journal

of Hazardous Materials, 477, 135266), which represents a pioneering

effort to demonstrate the presence of microplastics (MPs) in human bone

marrow. While this work contributes valuable early insight into human

internal MP exposure, several methodological inconsistencies require

clarification to ensure the scientific robustness and reproducibility of the

findings.
