Effects of Nanoplastics on Human Health: A Comprehensive Study
AI summary Read the abstract
This comprehensive review examines the diverse health effects of nanoplastics, drawing on toxicology, environmental science, and epidemiology to document how these particles interact with human biological systems. The authors conclude that nanoplastics represent a growing public health concern requiring further investigation.
Microplastics or nanoplastics are particles of plastic with a size range of 1 to 1000 nm and have emerged as a big public health concern due to their pervasive presence in the environment and their potential to gradually harm human health. This study provides an overview of the capability of nanoplastics to cause complex and diverse effects on human health, consisting of information from pre-existing research from multidisciplinary fields such as toxicology, environmental science, epidemiology, and public health.
