Effects of Nano and Microplastics on the Inflammatory Process: In Vitro and In Vivo Studies Systematic Review
AI summary Read the abstract
This systematic review examined both lab-based and animal studies on how micro- and nanoplastics trigger inflammation in the body. The evidence supports a link between microplastic exposure and inflammatory responses, which are involved in many chronic diseases. While more high-quality studies are needed — especially on nanoplastics — the findings suggest that plastic particles may contribute to ongoing low-level inflammation in exposed organisms.
This systematic review seems to support the relationship between the exposure to MPs and the inflammatory processboth in vivo and in vitro. Greater caution is needed about the role of NPs because ofa very small number of studies. Additional high-quality studies are warranted to confirm these results, especially the research should be focused on NPs being lacking literature.

Health impacts of micro- and nanoplastics in humans: systematic review of in vivo evidence
AI summary Read the abstract
This review of existing research found that tiny plastic particles (called microplastics and nanoplastics) build up in different parts of the human body and may cause inflammation and organ problems. However, the studies had different methods and limitations, so scientists can't yet prove these plastics directly cause health issues. Better long-term studies are needed to understand if microplastics - which come from things like plastic bottles and food packaging - truly harm human health.
A Systematic Review on the Impact of Micro-Nanoplastics Exposure on Human Health and Diseases
AI summary Read the abstract
This systematic review summarizes existing research on how micro and nanoplastic exposure affects human health and may contribute to disease. The evidence suggests that these tiny particles can enter the body through food, water, air, and even cosmetics, potentially causing inflammation, oxidative stress, and disruptions to the immune and reproductive systems.
Oxidative and Inflammatory Potential of Nano/Microplastics in Living Organisms
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines the growing body of evidence that microplastics and nanoplastics trigger oxidative stress and inflammatory responses across a wide range of animals, though the findings are often inconsistent and sometimes contradictory. The authors conclude that plastic particle weathering can alter these effects in complex ways, and call for standardized, systematic research to establish clearer dose-response relationships before firm regulatory conclusions can be drawn.
Micro- and nanoplastic exposure and human health
AI summary Read the abstract
This review summarizes existing research on tiny plastic particles called microplastics and nanoplastics, which have been found in human tissues and fluids. Lab and animal studies link exposure to cell stress and inflammation, but human studies remain limited, so the review states that a causal link to disease has not been established.
From environment to body: sources and health consequences of microplastics and nanoplastics in humans
AI summary Read the abstract
This review summarizes existing research on how tiny plastic particles called microplastics and nanoplastics enter the human body through food, water, air, and skin contact. Studies cited suggest these particles may build up in tissues and are linked to inflammation, immune problems, and other health issues, though long-term human health risks remain unclear.
