Microplastics in the Gastrointestinal Tract: A Systematic Review
Summary
This systematic review summarizes research on microplastics found in the human gastrointestinal tract. It highlights that microplastics are accumulating in our digestive systems through food and water, and calls for urgent research to understand how these particles may affect gut health and overall well-being.
Findings highlight the urgent need for interdisciplinary research to elucidate the mechanisms of MP-induced toxicity and inform public health strategies. Given the increasing plastic burden in the environment and food chain, proactive measures are essential to mitigate human exposure and its implications for global health. Further research through collaboration between clinicians and scientists is crucial to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of how MPs impact gut health and develop definitive solutions.
