A scoping review protocol on in vivo human plastic exposure and health impacts
Summary
Researchers registered a pre-planned protocol for a scoping review that will systematically map existing research on how humans are exposed to plastics in real life and what health effects have been observed in human studies. This type of pre-registration helps ensure transparent, rigorous scientific methods before the data collection begins.

A scoping review protocol on in vivo human plastic exposure and health impacts
This scoping review protocol outlines a plan to systematically gather evidence on how plastics found inside the human body affect health. With global plastic production having generated over 6.3 billion metric tons of waste, humans are increasingly exposed to micro- and nanoplastics through food, water, and air. The review aims to map what is known — and what gaps remain — about the direct health consequences of plastic particles in human tissues.
Environmental exposure to microplastics: a scoping review on human health effects
This scoping review systematically examined published evidence on the health effects of microplastic exposure in humans. It found that human exposure is certain and widespread, but that data on dose-response relationships and specific health outcomes are still limited — highlighting an urgent need for rigorous human health studies.
Partial Scoping Review of Microplastic Exposure Publications
This scoping review maps the growing body of research on human microplastic exposure, covering how plastics enter food, water, and air. It identifies key gaps in the literature and highlights the need for standardized methods to better assess real-world human exposure levels.
PROTOCOL: Plastics in the food system: Human health, economic and environmental impacts. A scoping review
This scoping review protocol outlines a plan to study how plastics in the food system affect human health, the economy, and the environment. Since mass plastic production began, over 8 billion metric tons have been created, and growing evidence suggests that plastics throughout the food supply chain may pose risks to human health through chemical exposure and microplastic contamination.
Micro- and Nanoplastics in the Brain: A Scoping Review Protocol on Their Presence, Neurotoxic Effects, and Implications for Human Health
This scoping review protocol outlines a systematic approach to mapping scientific evidence on the presence of micro- and nanoplastics in the brain, their neurotoxic effects, and potential implications for human health. The review will chart findings from both human studies and experimental models to identify key mechanisms, affected brain regions, and knowledge gaps in this emerging field.
