AI summary Read the abstract
This research reviewed clinical evidence on the health impacts of microplastic exposure in humans, synthesizing findings from biomonitoring studies, epidemiological investigations, and in vitro toxicology. The review identifies associations between microplastic body burden and inflammatory outcomes, while noting significant gaps in long-term exposure studies.

AI summary Read the abstract
This study examined the impacts of plastic pollution on marine life in Palawan, Philippines, documenting plastic ingestion and entanglement in local fish, sea turtles, or other marine species. The findings highlight the ecological toll of inadequate waste management in a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot.
In vitro toxicity of polyethylene terephthalate nanoplastics (PET-NPs) in human hepatocarcinoma (HepG2) cell line
AI summary Read the abstract
Exposure of HepG2 human liver cells to PET nanoplastics for 72 hours caused dose-dependent reductions in cell viability, oxidative stress at higher concentrations, and significant DNA damage via comet assay, with an IC50 of 616.7 µg/mL. These in vitro findings indicate that PET nanoplastics — shed from the world's most widely used plastic — have genotoxic and cytotoxic potential in human liver tissue, warranting further investigation of carcinogenic risk at environmentally relevant concentrations.
