A Systematic Review on the Toxicological Implications of Microplastic to Human Health
AI summary Read the abstract
This systematic review aimed to explore how microplastics may be toxic to human health, but the preprint has been withdrawn by its authors. Based on its title, the paper intended to assess what we know about the health risks of microplastic exposure in people. The withdrawal means its findings are no longer available for review.
Impact of Microplastic Exposure on Human Health: A Systematic Review of Mechanisms, Biomarkers, and Clinical Outcomes
AI summary Read the abstract
This systematic review found that microplastics have been detected in human blood, placental tissue, and gastrointestinal samples, with proposed health mechanisms including oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, endocrine disruption, and gut microbiome alterations. While direct clinical evidence remains limited, the accumulating laboratory and observational data point to microplastics as a plausible contributor to multiple disease pathways.
Microplastics and Their Human Health Effects - Systematic Review of Systematic Reviews in Research of Microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
This systematic review of systematic reviews provides an overview of what is known about microplastics and human health. The research found that while microplastics are confirmed to be present in the human body, the specific health effects linked to different plastic types remain poorly understood. The study highlights that this field is still young and calls for more research to clarify the true health risks of daily microplastic exposure.
Impact of Microplastics on Human health: Time for us to get attentive- before it’s too late
AI summary Read the abstract
This paper reviewed the growing evidence on microplastic impacts on human health, covering ingestion, inhalation, and dermal exposure routes, and the potential for microplastics to cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and endocrine disruption. The authors argue the problem demands urgent regulatory attention.
