Repercussões dos microplásticos e nanoplásticos nos sistemas gastrointestinal, circulatório e respiratório: Um novo potencial de exposição
Summary
This integrative review examined the effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on the gastrointestinal, circulatory, and respiratory systems, drawing on studies indexed in PubMed, SciELO, LILACS, and Cochrane databases. The review summarized the routes of contamination and health consequences of plastic particle exposure for these major organ systems.
Objetivo: Compreender as formas de contaminação e as consequências dos microplásticos (MPs) e nanoplásticos (NPs) para os sistemas gastrointestinal, respiratório e cardiovascular. Métodos: Revisão integrativa através das plataformas de base de dados Pubmed, SciELO, LILACS e Cochrane. A pesquisa foi feita através da estratégia de pesquisa: (“human health”) AND (“cell interaction”) OR (“microplastics”). Foram encontrados um total de 489 artigos. Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram selecionados 25 artigos, sendo removidos 20 artigos após a análise inicial. Isso totalizou 5 artigos para análise completa. Resultados: Evidencia-se extensos danos das partículas plásticas na saúde humana. No sistema gastrointestinal, o aumento da inflamação local causa disfunção da barreira e redução da digestão de determinadas macromoléculas. No sistema respiratório, a redução da depuração mucociliar corrobora para um acréscimo de patógenos e uma permanência de detritos, provenientes do ar externo, no pulmão. No sistema cardiovascular, alterações da frequência cardíaca, bem como o aumento do risco de trombose são achados da presença dos MPs e NPs. Considerações finais: Conclui-se uma visão integrada dos danos promovidos pelos MPs e NPs e suas interações com as células humanas, porém ainda não existem grandes evidências que permitam avaliar a extensão total dos danos.

Exposição a Nano E Microplásticos E Seus Impactos Na Saúde Humana: Uma Revisão Da Literatura
This Brazilian literature review (in Portuguese) synthesizes evidence that nano- and microplastic particles can enter the human body through air, water, and food, and migrate to organs including the lungs, liver, brain, and intestines. Health effects on the respiratory, immune, gastrointestinal, and hepatic systems have been documented in both humans and other mammals, with the severity depending on particle type, size, and dose. The review reinforces growing concern that microplastic exposure is a systemic human health issue rather than a localized or minor hazard.
Plastics, microplastics, and human contamination: A literature review
This literature review synthesizes research on human contamination by plastics and microplastics, covering ingestion, inhalation, and dermal exposure routes and summarizing documented health effects across organ systems.
Micro and Nanoplastics on Human Health and Diseases: Perspectives and Recent Advances
This review covers how micro- and nanoplastic particles enter the human body through ingestion, inhalation, infusion, and skin absorption, distribute to virtually all tissues and organs via the circulatory system, and cause health impacts including inflammatory responses, cellular damage, and endocrine disruption.
The Impact of Microplastics and Nanoplastics on Human Digestive, Respiratory and Cardiovascular Systems
This review summarizes current evidence on how micro- and nanoplastics may affect the human digestive, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems. Evidence indicates that exposure through ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact could contribute to gut inflammation, respiratory irritation, and cardiovascular complications, though the study emphasizes that more long-term research is needed to fully understand these effects.
A comprehensive review on the source, ingestion route, attachment and toxicity of microplastics/nanoplastics in human systems
This review summarizes how microplastics and nanoplastics enter the human body through eating, breathing, and skin contact, then spread to organs throughout all nine major body systems. The particles cause harm mainly through oxidative stress, inflammation, and disrupted metabolism, with the digestive and respiratory systems being most affected since they are the primary entry points.
