Microplastic Exposure and Its Dual Impact on Metabolic Syndrome and Pathways of Colorectal Carcinogenesis: A Systematic Review of Epidemiological, Experimental, and Mechanistic Evidence
Journal of Toxicology
2025
Abdullah Faisal Albukhari
Summary
This systematic review examines evidence linking microplastic exposure to both metabolic syndrome and colorectal cancer pathways. It found a biologically plausible connection between microplastic exposure and these conditions, though a direct clinical link to cancer has not yet been established.

Study Type
Review
The results indicate a biologically plausible connection between MP exposure and the development of both MetS and colorectal carcinogenesis pathways, rather than a direct clinical association with early-onset colorectal cancer.
