Microplastic Pollution and Human Body: Cause and Effect
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how synthetic textile microfibres, particularly from polyester, enter aquatic food webs through wastewater and accumulate up the food chain into seafood consumed by humans. The review synthesized evidence for long-term toxic effects of microplastic accumulation in human tissues, including potential malignant and benign cellular changes.
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.

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.
Impact of Microplastics in Human Health
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics — the tiny fragments that form as plastics break down — are accumulating in human tissues and triggering inflammation, hormonal disruption, and other health effects. Because plastics are inescapable in modern life, understanding these pathways is critical for setting safe exposure limits and informing policy.
Microplastics Pollution: Health Hazards
AI summary Read the abstract
This review pulls together existing research on how tiny plastic particles from everyday items like clothing get into our bodies through the food we eat, the air we breathe, and even our skin. These microplastics often carry harmful chemicals like dyes and flame retardants, and studies suggest they may trigger cell damage, inflammation, and disrupt the healthy bacteria in our gut. While scientists are still working out the full picture, this matters because it highlights an everyday exposure most people don't think about, one that may quietly affect long-term health.
