Particle size and polymer types of microplastics detected in 2 paired human prostate samples using LDIR. (a–d) Qualitative statistical findings for MPs and non- MPs of para-tumor (a, b) and tumor tissues (c, d) using LDIR scanning with a quality match above 0.65. (e–f) Distribution of MPs in para-tumor and tumor using LDIR scanning with a quality match above 0.65. (g–i) Assessment of differences in the abundance (g) and types of MPs (h, i) in para-tumor and tumor of patient 1 and 2. PT: para-tumor, T: tumor.
