The Invisible Threat: A Research Agenda for Microplastics and Human Neurotoxicity [FUTURE DIRECTIONS v1.0]

Microplastics 2026
Juan Moisés de la Serna

Summary

This perspective article proposes a research agenda for investigating microplastics as potential neurotoxicants, centered on the TOXIC-M framework which outlines key mechanistic pathways by which microplastics and associated chemicals could affect the nervous system. The authors identify priority research questions needed to evaluate the neurological risks of microplastic exposure in humans.
