Impact of Microplastics and Nanoplastics on Human Health
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the pathways and mechanisms by which microplastics and nanoplastics — detected in air, water, soil, and human tissues — pose emerging risks to human health, spanning from ingestion and inhalation exposure routes to inflammatory and endocrine disruption effects.
Micro(Nano)Plastics and the Risk of Cancer Development: Calling for Attention to a Macro Issue
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined the potential role of micro- and nanoplastics in cancer development, reviewing mechanistic evidence for how these ubiquitous particles may disrupt cellular processes and promote tumor-associated pathways. The paper calls for greater scientific and regulatory attention to the oncological risks of chronic low-level plastic particle exposure.
Hazards of microplastics on human health and its mitigation strategies
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how humans are exposed to microplastics through eating, breathing, and skin contact, finding that lab studies link microplastic exposure to oxidative stress, inflammation, and DNA damage, though the long-term health effects in humans remain poorly understood and need further study.
