Summary

Researchers reviewed the detection of microplastics across freshwater, marine, and terrestrial environments and synthesized emerging evidence on their health effects in humans. The paper examines how particle characteristics — origin, shape, and polymer type — influence toxicological outcomes and bioavailability.

Study Type Environmental

In the early twenty-first century, the discovery of microplastics—tiny plastic particles less than 5 mm—initiated a surge in research. Microplastics, characterized by their origin, shape, and monomeric units, have been detected across freshwater and...
