Humans are exposed to micro-and-nano plastics (MNPs) through various routes, but the
adverse health effects of MNPs on different organ systems are not yet fully understood. This …

Abstract Micro (nano) plastics (MNPs) contamination in plants and plant-derived food has
raised concerns about food safety and human health risks. This review examines the …

Accumulating evidence shows widespread contamination of water sources and food with
microplastics. Although the liver is one of the main sites of bioaccumulation within the …

Infants are characterized by an immaturity of the gut ecosystem and a high exposure to
microplastics (MPs) through diet, dust and suckling. However, the bidirectional interactions …

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have caused global environmental
concerns due to their ubiquitous existence in our surrounding environment and the potential …

The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been increasing in recent years,
particularly in newly industrialized nations. Environmental factors have been identified as …

Plastic products undergo artificial and unintentional aging during daily use, causing the
presence of aged microplastics (aMP). Humans are inevitably exposed to aMP. Liver is one …

Fecal sewage (FS), composed of human feces and wastewater, potentially contains
microplastics (MPs) that are prone to environmental pollution. In this study, 65 FS samples …

Microplastics are a prolific environmental contaminant that have been evidenced in human
tissues. Human uptake of microplastic occurs via inhalation of airborne fibres and ingestion …

Nanoplastics (NPLs), the presence in the environment of which was considered only “highly
plausible” until recently, have become the focus of environmental and ecotoxicological …
