Microplastics: Omnipresent and an ongoing challenge for medical science
Wiener klinische Wochenschrift
2024
Hans‐Peter Hutter,
Lisbeth Weitensfelder,
Michael Poteser
Summary
This commentary reviews evidence that micro- and nanoplastics are found in human body fluids and tissues and calls for greater engagement from medical science to assess potential health risks and develop diagnostic approaches.
Micro- and nanoplastics are omnipresent not only in the environment, but have also been detected in human body fluids and tissue. The subsequent commentary provides a perspective about potential risks for human health as well as resulting challenges for medical science.
