Microplastic Pollution and Human Body: Cause and Effect

All fashion has an environmental collision. The obsessive demand for polyester in fashion markets accelerates its production. The demand for polyester crosses the limit margin throughout the chain of the global fashion market. It has been developed that synthetic polymers in the ocean would be observed as destructive waste. The microfibres from synthetics are complicated because they do not biodegrade. Microfibres pollution is creating a problem for not only our rivers and oceans but also in surface water. Because it mixes with the plankton which is found in large bodies of water, including oceans and surface water systems and also our insignificant level of the food chain, which is then consumed by fishes, making its way up to the food we eat. The study provides a review of the literature that has been conducted, a summary of the sources of microplastic pollution, and provides an evaluation of the methods by which and how microplastics are detected. The study also provides a review of the dwelling of the long-term effect of microplastic in human bodies like malignant and benign changes in tissue level. The result of the review shows the toxic effects of this pollution on the human body.
