Health Risks of Prenatal and Early-Life Microplastics Exposure: A Comprehensive Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed current evidence that microplastics cross the placental barrier and affect fetal development through oxidative stress, inflammation, endocrine disruption, and epigenetic alterations, summarizing experimental findings linking prenatal and early-life exposure to neurodevelopmental, reproductive, and immune abnormalities — often in a sex-dependent manner — while identifying major gaps in human dose-response data.
Toxicological Effects of Ingested Microplastics on Human Health
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the toxicological effects of ingested microplastics on human health, examining how these ubiquitous particles accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract and may cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and potential systemic harm across multiple organ systems.
Human Exposure to Dietary Microplastics and Health Risk: A Comprehensive Review
AI summary Read the abstract
This comprehensive review examines human dietary exposure to microplastics through bottled water, seafood, packaged foods, and crops grown in plastic-mulched soils, cataloging toxicity mechanisms including immune disruption, gastrointestinal damage, and developmental cytotoxicity, with MPs shown to transfer via placenta and breast milk. The multi-pathway exposure evidence reviewed here highlights that microplastic ingestion is a universal human experience beginning before birth, with plausible health consequences that demand urgent investment in mechanistic in vivo research.
