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.

Toxicity of microplastics in humans: A search for sustainable alternatives

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed the toxic effects of microplastics on human respiratory, circulatory, and gastrointestinal systems, finding that particle size, shape, and surface chemistry govern biological harm. The review also evaluated bioplastics made from materials like corn starch and cellulose as sustainable alternatives, though it cautions that large-scale bioplastic production could strain global food resources.

Toxicological Effects of Ingested Microplastics on Human Health

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed the toxicological effects of ingested microplastics on human health, examining how these ubiquitous particles accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract and may cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and potential systemic harm across multiple organ systems.

The Potential Human Impacts of Environmental Contamination by Microplastics and Nanoplastics: A Review

AI summary Read the abstract

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.
