Dysregulation of Cellular Immune Functions on Gastric Administration to Mixtures of Polyethlene Microplastics and Metallic Lead in Mice
Korean Journal of Environmental Health Sciences
2023
Gyoungwoo Lee,
ChangYul Kim
Summary
This Korean study examined how mixtures of polyethylene microplastics and lead affect the immune function of mice. Gastric administration of the combined pollutants dysregulated cellular immune responses. The findings indicate that microplastics can interact with heavy metals to cause combined health effects, including immune system disruption, which is particularly concerning given human exposure to both contaminants.
