Adverse Health Effects of Plastics
Summary
This review summarizes the adverse health effects associated with plastic exposure, including endocrine disruption, inflammation, and potential carcinogenicity from plastic additives and microplastic particles. It provides an accessible overview of mechanisms by which plastics can harm human health across multiple organ systems.
P lastics are synthetic or natural organic materials that can be molded, extruded or rolled into various shapes or spun into fibers. we can also be used to make adhesives, sealants, coatings, and paints among many other products. we are either amorphous or semi-crystalline solids or highly viscous liquids that consist mainly of polymers that are made up of a large number of repeating structural units (monomers) chemically bonded to each other The oldest plastics were derived from plants and animals. . the chemical structure of most plastics renders them resistant to many natural processes of degradation and as a result they are slow to Degrade. .

Plastics and Health
This paper discusses the health implications of plastic exposure, examining the growing body of evidence connecting plastics and their additives to human health outcomes.
Plastic Pollution and Its Effects on Human Health
This review examined how plastics enter the environment through poor disposal and fragmentation, then infiltrate food chains and human bodies via ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. The authors summarized health risks from both microplastic particles and their associated chemical additives, calling for stronger global policy responses.
