Summary
Using in vitro gut models mimicking adult and infant digestive systems, researchers studied how microplastics interact with the human gut microbiota, finding that plastic particles can alter microbial community composition. These disruptions to the gut microbiome could have downstream implications for immune function, digestion, and overall health, particularly in vulnerable infants.
