Impact of Microplastics and Nanoplastics on Human Health.

Integrative medicine (Encinitas, Calif.) 2024
Lyn Patrick, Joseph Pizzorno

Summary

Emerging research shows microplastics and nanoplastics are found in every tissue in the human body, with a positive correlation between tissue concentrations and several common diseases. Despite well-understood exposure sources that can be controlled, no clinical trials have yet been conducted to test methods for eliminating microplastics from human tissues.

Models

Microplastics and nanoplastics are pervasive in the environment and pollute every tissue in the body. Emerging research demonstrates a positive correlation between tissue concentrations of microplastics and several common diseases. The sources of exposure are well understood and can be controlled. However, there appear to be no clinical trials for eliminating microplastics from tissues.
