Summary

This review examined how micro- and nanoplastics disrupt gut microbiota and immune function across aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates, with implications for human health. Because the gut microbiome governs immune regulation and metabolic health, microplastic-induced dysbiosis represents a plausible mechanism by which plastic ingestion could drive systemic inflammation and disease beyond the GI tract.

Body Systems

Digestive Immune

The digestive systems of aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates and vertebrates host different categories of microorganisms known as the gut microbiota or microbiome. This includes bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses. The term “microbiota” refers to the...
