The Impact of Microplastics on Allergy: Current Status and Future Research Directions.

Microplastics are a new type of environmental pollutants that has received considerable attention recently because of their widespread presence and potential health risks. Microplastics pose significant risks to human health, particularly by triggering and exacerbating allergic reactions. This review summarizes the current knowledge about how microplastics relate to allergic conditions. It explores the sources and exposure routes of microplastics, their impacts on the immune system, and their association with allergic diseases. Additionally, this review emphasizes the urgent need for future research to clarify the mechanisms involved in these interactions and provides insights that may help shape public health policies.
