ClearImplicaciones de la exposición a microplásticos en salud humana. Revisión bibliográfica
This Spanish-language review summarizes health implications of microplastic exposure, covering how microplastics enter the human body through food, water, and air, and what biological effects have been observed. The review notes that virtually all products in modern life contain some form of plastic.
[Clinical impact of microplastic exposure in humans].
This German-language clinical review summarized current knowledge on microplastic exposure pathways, health risks, and the World Health Organization's assessment of this topic. The authors noted significant gaps in measuring microplastics in the human body and called for improved methods to assess clinical impacts, particularly links to infectious disease.
[Clinical impact of microplastic exposure in humans].
This review summarized clinical evidence on the health impacts of microplastic exposure in humans, covering routes of entry (air, food, contact) and the range of organ systems affected. It concluded that while data are still emerging, current evidence supports concern about microplastic accumulation and its potential to cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and systemic health effects.
Micro(nano)plásticos en el medio ambiente: una descripción de los efectos potenciales a la salud humana
This Spanish-language review summarizes in vitro and in vivo evidence on how micro- and nanoplastics (1 µm–5 mm and below 1 µm) accumulate in the human body and trigger adverse biological responses. It emphasizes the growing public health concern as plastic fragmentation accelerates and human internal exposure becomes increasingly documented.
Microplastics in humans: Current evidence of presence and their role in organ toxicity
This comprehensive review examined how microplastics enter the human body through ingestion, inhalation, dermal absorption, and maternal-fetal transfer, summarizing documented evidence of MP presence and toxic effects across multiple organs.
Microplastiche: l´impatto sulla salute
This presentation examines micro- and nanoplastic contamination from a One Health perspective, reviewing how humans are exposed through air, food, water, and medical products. The study discusses recent findings of plastic particles in multiple organs and tissues, with emerging evidence suggesting associations with cardiovascular inflammation, potential neurological effects, and concerns about reproductive health impacts.
Microplastics and Human Health: A Comprehensive Review on Exposure Pathways, Toxicity, and Emerging Risks
This comprehensive review examines microplastic exposure pathways in humans, methods of detection, and the potential toxic effects on various biological systems. The study highlights growing evidence that microplastics can enter the body through ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact, and may affect multiple organ systems, though significant uncertainties remain about long-term health outcomes.
The Hidden Health Crisis: Microplastics and Their Medical Consequences
This review summarizes what is known about how microplastics enter the human body through food, water, and air, and the health problems they may cause. Microplastics can carry toxic chemicals like heavy metals and endocrine disruptors, and their physical presence in tissues has been linked to inflammation. The authors stress that doctors should consider microplastic exposure when evaluating chronic conditions, and call for stronger regulations to reduce plastic pollution.
Microplásticos, ambiente y salud humana. Una revisión a nivel global
A systematic literature review of over 11,000 articles on microplastics in water, soil, and human health found that microplastics contaminate aquifers, harm marine ecosystems, and affect the respiratory and digestive systems of people, with the authors calling for more research on human health effects.
Should we be worried about the microplastics in our bodies?
This accessible overview article asked whether people should be concerned about microplastics found in human bodies, summarizing current evidence on bodily accumulation, potential health effects, and the limits of current knowledge. It concluded that while the science is developing, precautionary concern is warranted.
Micro(nano)plastics, an emerging health problem
This review frames micro- and nanoplastics as an emerging human health problem, synthesizing evidence of exposure routes, organ-level accumulation, and biological effects, and calling for updated regulatory frameworks to address this novel class of environmental contaminants.
Keberadaan Plastik di Lingkungan, Bahaya terhadap Kesehatan Manusia, dan Upaya Mitigasi: Studi Literatur
This Indonesian-language literature review examined microplastic presence in the environment, summarizing health risks to humans from microplastic exposure through food and water, the environmental fate of plastic particles, and mitigation strategies including the 3Rs and material substitution to reduce plastic waste pollution.
Exposição a Nano E Microplásticos E Seus Impactos Na Saúde Humana: Uma Revisão Da Literatura
This Brazilian literature review (in Portuguese) synthesizes evidence that nano- and microplastic particles can enter the human body through air, water, and food, and migrate to organs including the lungs, liver, brain, and intestines. Health effects on the respiratory, immune, gastrointestinal, and hepatic systems have been documented in both humans and other mammals, with the severity depending on particle type, size, and dose. The review reinforces growing concern that microplastic exposure is a systemic human health issue rather than a localized or minor hazard.
Impact of microplastics on human health: exposure mechanisms and potential health implications
This review examines how microplastics enter the human body through food, drinking water, and inhaled air, and summarizes what is known about their potential health effects. Researchers found that microplastics have been detected in human stool samples, blood, and lung tissue, and may carry harmful chemicals and pathogens. The study highlights that while evidence of direct health impacts is still emerging, the widespread presence of microplastics in everyday exposure pathways warrants serious attention.
What Health Concerns Could Micro and Nanoplastics Pose for Infants? A Review
Microplastics and nanoplastics have been detected in human placentas, meconium, and infant faeces, meaning babies can be exposed before and immediately after birth. This review examines what these early-life exposures might mean for infant health and development, and discusses broader policy responses to reduce plastic overproduction as the most direct route to protecting future generations.
