Inhaled Microplastics and Nanoplastics: Brain Exposure via the Olfactory Pathway and Emerging Therapeutic Opportunities

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers outline how inhaled micro- and nanoplastics can travel from the nasal cavity directly to the brain via the olfactory pathway, and propose emerging countermeasures including nasal sequestration systems and lipid nanoparticle therapeutics to address particulate burden beyond conventional masks and filtration.

Toxicological effects of different particle sizes and types of nano-plastics (NPs) on human lung cells: implications for the health risk of airborne microplastic pollution

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers exposed human A549 alveolar cells to polystyrene and polymethylmethacrylate nanoplastics of 30 and 50 nm and found that smaller size and higher concentration produced stronger cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis—with PS nanoparticles more toxic than PMMA—providing in vitro evidence of respiratory health risks from inhaled airborne nanoplastics.
