minus-squareTruck_kun@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoDonating blood (and plasma?) has been shown to reduce microplastics and PFAs in the human body/blood. I believe a key point being any type of donation that parts are not returned to your body afterwords. So, being a blood donor can actually have some positive health effects.

minus-squareSpiderShoeCult@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoAye, good for the donor. Presumably not bad for the recipient either, since needing blood means they already lost some so worst case they just have constant levels of microplastics.
