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 <i>in vivo</i> and <i>in vitro</i>. 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.
