Summary

Researchers examined how the global proliferation of plastic products has led to pervasive microplastic pollution through slow degradation of discarded materials, with direct consequences for human health. The paper traces the pathway from plastic convenience to microscale contamination and the biological impacts on the human body.

Because plastics are a multifunctional, resistant, easy-to-process, and affordable material, they play a central role in our daily life. However, their extensive use has become tainted by the continuous rise of plastic pollution worldwide, which generates, after slow...
