We have found plastic in the ocean and in animals. But for the first time, scientists have found plastic in human poop(粪便),USA Today reported.

The findings came from a study by scientists from Environment Agency Austria. The researchers followed eight healthy volunteers from different parts of the world. The volunteers wrote down what they ate for a week and then provided a stool sample(大便样本)for testing.

Scientists found nine different types of plastic particles( 颗粒)in the samples. “The smallest plastic particles are able to enter the bloodstream, the lymphatic system (淋巴系统),and may even reach the liver(肝脏)”said Philipp Schwabl, who took part in the research.

However, the scientists aren't sure if this plastic is harmful to humans. They're not sure how the plastic got into the volunteers' bodies, either. But most of the volunteers said they drank from plastic bottles and also ate seafood that could include plastic from ocean pollution.

In fact, plastic is everywhere around us. Every year, about 8 million tons of plastic waste goes into the oceans. There, sunlight and waves break the plastic down to small particles. Most of the particles stay in the ocean. Others can spread into the soil and air. Could plastic in the air fall onto food and get into the human body?

According to USA Today, 90 percent of sea salt sold in the world includes plastic. And even some top water has been found to have plastic particles in it.
