Human Health Impacts of Microplastics Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined what is known about how microplastics move through the human body after ingestion, noting that while absorption and tissue distribution have been partially characterized, fundamental gaps remain in understanding how microplastics are metabolized and eliminated.
Information on toxicokinetics gives an idea only about absorption and distribution, but there is no information about their metabolism and excretion. Several
