Summary

Researchers reviewed human health consequences of environmental micro- and nanoplastic contamination, noting that while detection in human tissues is growing, the extent of biological harm remains poorly characterized and requires more systematic study of exposure routes and dose-response relationships.

In recent years, many studies have focused on the human consequences of contamination of the environment with micro-or nano-plastics (MNPs). However, the human health consequences of MNPs in the environment have not been studied extensively. In this chapter, we look...
