Microplastics in Air, Drinking Water and Food: Impacts on Human Health
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed human exposure to microplastics through air, drinking water, and food, quantifying estimated daily intake across exposure routes and summarizing evidence linking microplastic ingestion and inhalation to inflammation, oxidative stress, and potential long-term organ toxicity.
The widespread use of plastic materials has brought significant benefits across various sectors of human life, marking a new historical era. However, their desirable properties—such as durability, low cost, and water resistance—have led to substantial...
