Human exposure to micro- and nanoplastics: routes, accumulation, and health implications
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesizes evidence that microplastics and nanoplastics have been detected in human blood, placenta, breast milk, and stool, with emerging associations between internal MNP burdens and inflammatory, cardiometabolic, and potential reproductive effects. Humans are exposed through ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, and medical interventions, making microplastic accumulation in the body a pressing public health concern requiring urgent research into clinical health outcomes.
The bioaccumulation and carcinogenic potential of micro- and nanoplastics in humans
AI summary Read the abstract
This comprehensive review synthesizes recent evidence showing that micro- and nanoplastics accumulate in multiple human organs and examines the biological pathways by which these particles could potentially promote cancer development. As plastic particles are now confirmed inside human tissues, understanding their carcinogenic potential has become one of the most urgent questions in environmental health research.
Microplastics and nanoplastics in human health: a comprehensive review of exposure pathways, cellular mechanisms, and toxicological implications
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed human exposure pathways to microplastics and nanoplastics through seafood, salt, drinking water, inhalation, and skin contact, examining how these particles cross biological barriers to reach organs and trigger oxidative stress, inflammation, and endocrine disruption with poorly understood long-term consequences.
Microplastic environmental behavior and health risk assessment: a review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers comprehensively reviewed microplastic pollution across soil, water, and air environments, summarizing findings on aging, toxicity in model organisms, combined effects with heavy metals and endocrine disruptors, and risks to human gastrointestinal, pulmonary, reproductive, and cardiovascular health.
Health risk of human exposure to microplastics: a review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the human health risks of microplastic exposure across multiple organ systems, finding evidence that these particles trigger oxidative stress, disrupt gut microbiota, impair liver and cardiovascular function, suppress immunity, and — through leached additives like phthalates — act as endocrine disruptors with synergistic effects when combined with co-occurring environmental pollutants.
