The toxicity of polyethylene microplastics on molecular and biochemical parameters in albino mice
Summary
Researchers assessed the molecular and biochemical effects of polyethylene microplastic exposure in albino mice, finding dose-dependent toxicity across multiple organ systems, with measurable alterations in liver enzymes, oxidative stress markers, and blood cell parameters consistent with systemic health impacts.
Microplastics (MPs) pollution is a burgeoning environmental issue. Microplastics can accumulate in animals and people, presenting a considerable health hazard. Polyethylene (PE), generated from petroleum, is one of the most ubiquitous polymers. As a result, its exposure metrics have steadily...
