Lumati Detect 

Saliva-Based Microplastics Exposure Test

Lumati Detect is a saliva-based microplastics exposure test — processed in a certified U.S. lab — that gives you a clear, personalized snapshot of your microplastic exposure level. Use it as a wellness baseline, track changes over time, and make more informed choices about your everyday environment..

The Growing Science of Microplastic Exposure

Research increasingly shows they are present in the human body. Peer-reviewed studies have detected microplastics in human blood, lung tissue, and the digestive system. Emerging research is exploring potential associations between microplastic accumulation and cellular stress, hormonal pathways, and inflammatory responses — though the full clinical picture is still being studied.

 

Understanding your personal exposure level is a meaningful first step toward making informed lifestyle choices.

The health effects of microplastic exposure are an active area of scientific research. Detection of microplastics does not indicate disease or toxicity. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider with any health-related concerns.

Your Personal Microplastics Report—Made Simple

Lumati Detect measures microplastic particles in your saliva sample using advanced spectroscopy — processed in a certified U.S. lab. Because saliva offers a convenient, low-contamination collection method, it provides a repeatable way to track your personal microplastic exposure level over time.

What the Size Categories Mean

Microplastics are grouped by particle size, since different sizes suggest different ways plastics may enter the body:

  • These are typically linked to inhalation exposure (airborne microplastics). They are of greatest concern because they can potentially cross biological barriers, including the blood–brain barrier.

  • These often enter the body through food and beverages and can pass through the gut–blood barrier.

  • Too large to pass through most biological barriers; their presence could be from direct bloodstream exposure, such as intravenous sources, or may reflect a sampling irregularity.

Understanding Your Particle Count

Your results table shows how many microplastic particles were detected in each size category, along with your total count and calculated concentration.

Example:

Total particles detected: 6

Calculated concentration: 60 P/ml

Particle Count by Size Category

How many particles were identified within each measured range.

Calculated 
Concentration (P/ml)

The number of particles per milliliter based on our 100 μL sample

Particle Count by Size Category

The sum of all microplastics detected across every size category.

The lower your total count, the better—the ideal benchmark is zero detectable microplastics.

Who Should Test

Microplastic exposure is invisible — but measurable. Whether it's your diet, your environment, or your daily habits, your exposure level is uniquely yours. Lumati Detect shows you exactly where you stand, so you can take a more informed approach to your long-term wellness.

  • Anyone interested in understanding their personal exposure and taking proactive control of their wellbeing.

  • Individuals that live near industrial or manufacturing sites

  • Anyone who relies on municipal tap water as their main source of hydration.

  • People who often eat meals stored, heated, or delivered in plastic containers.

  • Those who regularly wear or use coated clothing, outdoor gear, or treated fabrics.

  • Individuals using vape products, which may introduce additional microplastic particles.

  • Those working or who have worked in manufacturing, construction, textiles, or cleaning, where particulate exposure is common.

Everyday Sources of Microplastics — and Smarter Swaps

Microplastics show up in everyday habits more often than most people realize.

Chewing Gum

Most chewing gum contains plastics. Choose natural, plastic-free options or avoid it altogether.

Salt Grinders

Use salt in glass or paper packaging and avoid plastic grinders. Choose ceramic or metal instead.

Hot Drinks

Drink hot beverages from glass or ceramic mugs. Heat can cause plastic-lined cups to shed microplastics.

Tea Bags

Choose tea bags sealed with cotton or paper. Many “biodegradable” options still contain plastic fibers.
