Simulating microplastics path in human airways
Scilight
2024
Maura Shapiro
Summary
This study used computational fluid dynamics to simulate how microplastic particles of varying sizes and shapes travel through human airways, generating data to inform understanding of deposition patterns and respiratory health risks.
Body Systems
Simulating microplastics traveling through human airways will help inform targeting treatments, management of health risks, and raise awareness about the potential dangers.
