Summary
A comparison of polystyrene and polycaprolactone nanoplastics on macrophage immune cells found both types induced adverse cellular effects, with the study highlighting that plastic persistence in the environment may drive progressive accumulation leading to chronic immune system impacts.
Plastics are persistent in the environment, which suggests that they may induce adverse effects due to their progressive accumulation over time.
