Plastics, due to their varied properties, find use in different sectors such as agriculture,
packaging, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and construction, to mention a few. Excessive use of …

Since inhalation is a relevant exposure route, studies using appropriate micro/nanoplastic
(MNPLs) models, representative targeted cells, and relevant biomarkers of effect are …

There has been growing evidence showing the widespread of airborne microplastics
(AMPs) in many regions of the world, raising concerns about their impact on human health …

The increased awareness about possible health effects arising from micro-and nanoplastics
(MNPs) pollution is driving a huge amount of studies. Many international efforts are in place …

Nanoplastics, one component of plastic pollution, can enter human bodies via inhalation
and thus threaten human health. However, the knowledge about the uptake and exocytosis …

Human and animal exposure to microplastics (MPs) contained in food is inevitable because
of their widespread existence in the environment. Nevertheless, MPs toxicity studies in …

Global plastic production has increased exponentially in recent decades, and a significant
part of it persists in the environment, where it degrades into microplastics and nanoplastics …

Plastic pollution is an emerging environmental concern, gaining significant attention
worldwide. They are classified into microplastics (MP; defined from 1 μm to 5 mm) and …

Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles of a diameter of less than 5 mm and a major carrier
of pollution. In accordance with its diameter range, MPs can be divided into microplastics …
