Microplastic Pollution: Human Exposure, Uptake, Accumulation Pathways, and Potential Health Consequences

˜The œhandbook of environmental chemistry 2025
Yalçın Tepe, Özlem Tunç Dede

Summary

Researchers reviewed the exposure routes, uptake mechanisms, and accumulation pathways of microplastics in the human body, concluding that the ubiquitous presence of these particles warrants urgent investigation into their long-term ecological and health consequences.

Models

Microplastics are ubiquitous, universal environmental pollutants to which humans are inevitably exposed. Given their prevalence, long-term impacts on ecology and health from these particles require urgent investigation. There is an increasing total world plastic...
