Microplastics: Interactive Mechanisms in Human Systems
Summary
Researchers reviewed how microplastics interact with major human biological systems, tracing pathways from environmental exposure to cellular uptake across the respiratory, digestive, and circulatory systems. The paper synthesizes mechanistic evidence for how particle size, polymer type, and surface chemistry influence toxicity and systemic distribution.
Despite plastic being an important convenience of contemporary living, microplastic pollution has recently gained international attention. From the deepest oceans to the air we breathe, microplastic particles smaller than 5 mm are present everywhere. Microplastics...
