Summary
Researchers found that SARS-CoV-2 binds to microplastic surfaces, and this interaction facilitates enhanced viral infection of host cells and amplifies inflammatory responses, suggesting microplastics may act as vectors for viral pathogens.
Body Systems
SARS-CoV-2 binds to microplastics which facilitates viral host infection with enhanced inflammatory responses.
