Summary

This study investigated the effects of microplastic ingestion on immune function in laboratory mice, finding that polystyrene particle exposure suppressed natural killer cell activity and altered macrophage polarization states. Immune function disruption was observed at concentrations achievable through realistic dietary exposure, raising concerns about immunotoxicological consequences of human microplastic intake.
