However, access to medical information alone is not enough. Doctors, medical students and researchers must also develop the ability to evaluate research critically and distinguish reliable findings from weak or misleading conclusions.

The ongoing study by PhD scholar Simran Singh, supervised by Dr Soma Mishra, found fibres, fragments and pellets in fish samples and estimated that a person eating 250 grams of freshwater fish twice a week for 50 years could ingest between 93,600 and 124,800 microplastic particles. Health experts advise caution rather than panic: microplastics often concentrate in fish guts and gills rather than muscle, but repeated dietary exposure remains a pot | |
