Impact of Microplastics and Nanoplastics on Human Health.
Summary
This study reports that microplastics and nanoplastics have been found in virtually every tissue in the human body, and emerging research links higher tissue concentrations to several common diseases. The authors note that while exposure sources are well understood and controllable, there appear to be no clinical trials yet focused on removing microplastics from human tissues.
Microplastics and nanoplastics are pervasive in the environment and pollute every tissue in the body. Emerging research demonstrates a positive correlation between tissue concentrations of microplastics and several common diseases. The sources of exposure are well understood and can be controlled. However, there appear to be no clinical trials for eliminating microplastics from tissues.
