Summary

Researchers examined the potential role of micro- and nanoplastics in cancer development, reviewing mechanistic evidence for how these ubiquitous particles may disrupt cellular processes and promote tumor-associated pathways. The paper calls for greater scientific and regulatory attention to the oncological risks of chronic low-level plastic particle exposure.

Microplastics and nanoplastics are ever-present environmental contaminants with inevitable exposure to humans. Recently, research evaluating the effect of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) on human health, and more specifically their contribution to the risk of...
