PlasticTox Microplastics Test offers an advanced laboratory screening designed to measure microplastic exposure. Using a simple saliva sample, the test provides insight into the microscopic plastic particles that may be circulating inside your body.
What Are Microplastics?
And why does it matter?
Microplastics are tiny plastic fragments, often invisible to the naked eye, that can accumulate in the human body. They are now widely detected in water, food and the air we breathe. Most originate from the gradual breakdown of everyday plastic items such as food packaging, synthetic textiles and consumer products.
PlasticTox Microplastic Test measures microscopic particles across three size ranges:
• <10 μm – Around 10–20 times smaller than a grain of sand
• 10–30 μm – Similar in size to fine airborne dust particles
• 30–70 μm – Approximately the width of a human hair.

PlasticTox FAQs.
Why do people test for microplastics?
Individuals choose the PlasticTox Microplastics Test for different reasons.
- Some want to establish a baseline measurement of their environmental exposure.
- Others are simply curious about what may be circulating in their body.
- Some individuals repeat testing later to monitor changes after adjusting lifestyle habits aimed at reducing plastic exposure.
- For many people, the test provides valuable insight into an otherwise invisible part of modern living.
How does the PlasticTox Microplastics Test work?
Testing is designed to be simple and convenient.
Your PlasticTox kit contains everything required to collect a saliva sample at home. The sample is then packaged and returned using prepaid international shipping.
Once received, the laboratory analyses the sample using advanced microscopy technology capable of detecting the presence, size and concentration of microplastic particles.
Results are delivered via a secure online laboratory portal within approximately 28 business days of the sample being received.
What does the PlasticTox Microplastics Test measure?
The PlasticTox Microplastics Test detects several common plastic polymers that are widely used in manufacturing and packaging.
These include:
• PET – Polyethylene terephthalate
• PA – Polyamides
• PP – Polypropylene
• PE – Polyethylene
• PU – Polyurethane
• PVC – Polyvinyl chloride
• PS – Polystyrene
Your laboratory report outlines detected particles and their relative presence within the analysed sample.
Where are PlasticTox Microplastics Test samples analysed?
PlasticTox Microplastics Test samples are analysed at two of the world’s only laboratories certified to operate in plastic-free environments, located in the Netherlands and Michigan, USA. These highly controlled facilities prevent external plastic contamination, ensuring accurate microplastic testing and reliable results.
How long do the results take?
Results are delivered via a secure online laboratory portal within approximately 28 business days of the sample being received.
