МІКРОПЛАСТИК У ПИТНІЙ ВОДІ ТА ЇЖІ - ЗАГРОЗА ЗДОРОВ’Ю ЛЮДИНИ
Summary
This Ukrainian-language study reviews how microplastics and nanoplastics enter the human body through drinking water, food, air, and household sources, and describes their toxic mechanisms affecting the digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, reproductive, and immune systems.
The study addresses the issue of microplastic pollution as one of the emerging threats to human health. Special attention is given to the main pathways through which microplastic and nanoplastic particles enter the human body — via drinking water, food, air, and household sources. The mechanisms of microplastic toxicity affecting various organ systems are described, including the digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, reproductive, and immune systems. It is shown that microplastics are capable of accumulating toxic substances, disrupting hormonal balance, inducing oxidative stress, and triggering inflammatory responses. The work aims to raise awareness and explore ways to minimize the negative impact of microplastics on human health

This Ukrainian review summarizes how plastics transform in saltwater and freshwater environments and how the resulting microplastics affect animal health. The paper covers ingestion, bioaccumulation, and physiological effects of microplastics in fish and other aquatic organisms, with relevance to human exposure through seafood consumption.
[Human Accumulation and Toxic Effects of Microplastics：A Critical Review].
This review summarizes how microplastics enter the human body through food, drinking water, and air, and where they tend to accumulate in organs and tissues. Researchers found evidence that microplastics can trigger inflammatory responses and oxidative stress in the body. The study calls for more research into the long-term health effects of continuous microplastic exposure in humans.
Microplastics and Human Health: A Comprehensive Review on Exposure Pathways, Toxicity, and Emerging Risks
This comprehensive review examines microplastic exposure pathways in humans, methods of detection, and the potential toxic effects on various biological systems. The study highlights growing evidence that microplastics can enter the body through ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact, and may affect multiple organ systems, though significant uncertainties remain about long-term health outcomes.
Impact of microplastics on human health: exposure mechanisms and potential health implications
This review examines how microplastics enter the human body through food, drinking water, and inhaled air, and summarizes what is known about their potential health effects. Researchers found that microplastics have been detected in human stool samples, blood, and lung tissue, and may carry harmful chemicals and pathogens. The study highlights that while evidence of direct health impacts is still emerging, the widespread presence of microplastics in everyday exposure pathways warrants serious attention.
