Potential human health risk assessment of microplastic exposure: current scenario and future perspectives
AI summary Read the abstract
This review assessed the potential human health risks from microplastic exposure across various pathways including ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. The study highlights that the small size of microplastics enables their global transport to even remote regions, and discusses current evidence on how microplastics may affect human health through physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms.

Impact of Microplastics on Human health: Time for us to get attentive- before it’s too late
AI summary Read the abstract
This paper reviewed the growing evidence on microplastic impacts on human health, covering ingestion, inhalation, and dermal exposure routes, and the potential for microplastics to cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and endocrine disruption. The authors argue the problem demands urgent regulatory attention.
Plastic and Human Health: A Micro Issue?
AI summary Read the abstract
This review evaluates the potential human health impacts of microplastic exposure through food and air, drawing on evidence from particle toxicology and related fields. Researchers note that if inhaled or ingested, microplastics could accumulate in tissues and cause localized inflammation, while chemical additives and adsorbed pollutants may leach out and cause additional toxic effects. The paper emphasizes that chronic, long-term exposure is likely the greater concern, though current data on actual human exposure levels remains limited.
