Real-World Application of Oscillometry: Taking the LEAD
Summary
This review highlights the urgent need for further research into microplastic airway toxicity, specifically replicating concerns around nylon 6.6 and testing other polymer types in advanced model systems. It calls for better characterization of leachate composition driving pulmonary harm and identification of practical personal mitigation strategies to support public health efforts.
of MPs so as to support public health efforts to limit the most toxic MPs and, to the extent that they will unlikely ever be fully eliminated, offer some reasonable avenues for mitigating interventions at a personal level.Further studies to replicate the concerns of nylon 6.6 highlighted above, to test other MPs in more advanced model systems, and to understand the specifics of leachate composition driving airway toxicity are urgently needed.
