AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers documented the pervasive presence of micro- and nanoplastics across environmental compartments, tracing their origins to daily consumer products like cosmetics, clothing, and personal care items, and examining the associated health risks from widespread human exposure.

The micro and nanoplastic have wider range of applications in the daily consumable products such as brushing, clothing and beauty product as cleanser, scrubber and shower gel etc. The pervasive occurrence of microplastics at different component of environment such as...

Impact of Microplastics in Human Health

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed how microplastics — the tiny fragments that form as plastics break down — are accumulating in human tissues and triggering inflammation, hormonal disruption, and other health effects. Because plastics are inescapable in modern life, understanding these pathways is critical for setting safe exposure limits and informing policy.
