This review links nano- and microplastics exposure to health risks in humans, suggesting a need for further investigation.
Increasing global plastic production has intensified human exposure to nano- and microplastics (NMPs) through food, water, and air. Emerging evidence links NMP exposure to oxidative stress, inflammation, microbiome disruption, and metabolic dysfunction, although human exposure and health risk data remain limited.
