Mechanism of microplastics in respiratory disease from 2020 to 2024: visualization and bibliometric analysis
Summary
A bibliometric and visualization analysis mapped five years of research on the mechanisms by which microplastics cause respiratory disease, identifying oxidative stress, inflammatory pathways, and microplastic accumulation in lung tissue as the dominant topics in this rapidly growing field.
Research on the processes of MPs in the respiratory disease has advanced rapidly during the past 5 years. Human exposure (toxicity, ingestion, accumulation and metabolism), gene, oxidative stress, inflammation and cell death are the five main research area. In the following stage, deep studies on the connection of various mechanisms will be conducted, and efforts are expected to minimize the level of MPs in the human body, thus reducing the risk to humans.

Effect of microplastics deposition on human lung airways: A review with computational benefits and challenges
This review examines how microplastics deposited in human lungs can cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and reduced lung function. Because these tiny particles can reach deep into the lungs where oxygen enters the blood, they raise concerns about long-term respiratory disease and the possibility of spreading to other organs.
Insight into the Interaction Between Microplastics and Microorganisms Based on a Bibliometric and Visualized Analysis
A bibliometric and visualized analysis of research on microplastic-microorganism interactions identified rapid growth in this field and key themes including plastisphere formation, biodegradation potential, and microbial community changes driven by microplastic exposure.
The emerging issue of microplastics in marine environment: A bibliometric analysis from 2004 to 2020
This bibliometric analysis of marine microplastic research from 2004 to 2020 revealed rapid growth in publications, identified key research themes and collaborations, and highlighted emerging topics including microplastic impacts on marine organisms and human health.
Respiratory Toxicity of Microplastics: Mechanisms, Clinical Outcomes, and Future Threats
This review examined the mechanisms by which inhaled airborne microplastics cause respiratory harm, including inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrosis, and impaired mucociliary clearance. The authors also discuss emerging evidence linking microplastic inhalation to worsening asthma, COPD, and potentially lung cancer.
