Mikroplastik und dermatologische Versorgung
Summary
This brief commentary highlighted the relevance of microplastic pollution to dermatological care, noting that plastics are ubiquitous in medical settings and arguing that physicians have a professional responsibility to promote more sustainable practices. The precautionary principle was invoked to justify action ahead of complete evidence on health impacts.
