The Impact of Environmental Factors on Cancer Risk: A Comprehensive Review
Summary
This paper is not about microplastics in a specific research sense; it is a broad review of how environmental factors influence cancer risk, with no substantive microplastic content evident from the available abstract.

Rising Cancer Impact and Pollution as Hazards
This paper is not directly about microplastics; it is a broad overview of environmental causes of cancer, covering air and water pollution, industrial exposures, and workplace chemicals, and calls for regulatory action to reduce carcinogenic exposures.
From Exposure to Oncogenesis: the Role of Microplastics and Associated Pollutants in Cancer - a Literature Review
This literature review examined the growing evidence linking microplastic exposure to cancer development. Microplastics have been found in human lung, liver, and colon tissue, and research suggests they may promote cancer through chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and by carrying known carcinogens like heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants into the body.
From exposure to oncogenesis: a review on the multifaceted roles of microplastics in tumor initiation and progression
This review examined the evidence linking microplastic exposure to tumor initiation and progression, covering physical, chemical, and inflammatory mechanisms by which MPs may promote oncogenesis. The authors conclude that while current evidence is largely preclinical, accumulating data warrant serious concern about microplastics as environmental carcinogens.
The Relationship Between Microplastics and Nanoplastics with Cancer: An Emerging Health Concern
This review explores the emerging relationship between micro- and nanoplastic exposure and cancer risk in humans. Researchers summarized evidence suggesting that microplastics can carry carcinogenic substances and may trigger inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways linked to tumor development. The study highlights that while early evidence raises concern, more research is needed to establish clear causal connections between plastic particle exposure and specific cancer types.
Complex Web of Carcinogens in the Environment: a Comprehensive Review
This broad environmental health review examines the range of carcinogens present in human environments — including industrial chemicals, air pollutants, radiation, and emerging contaminants — and synthesizes evidence on their contribution to cancer risk. While microplastics are addressed as part of the emerging chemical contaminant category, the review primarily covers the wider landscape of environmental cancer causes.
