- Health Effects of Microplastic Exposures: Current Issues and . . .
Little is known about the impact of microplastics on human health and the toxic effects that may vary depending on the type, size, shape, and concentration of microplastics Therefore, more research is needed to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms of microplastic toxicity and related pathologies
- Microplastics are in our bodies. Heres why we dont know the health risks
Exposure to microplastic fibers from the air during the meal was far higher than the risk of ingesting microplastics from the mussels themselves
- Microplastics: Sources, health risks, and how to protect yourself
What are the health risks associated with microplastics? While researchers are examining the impacts of microplastics on human health, there is limited evidence to indicate that microplastics are causing serious health problems
- Human Exposure to Microplastics and Its Associated Health Risks
Microplastics are a globally emerging contaminant in the environment, but little is known about the potential risks of microplastics to human health Possible exposure routes of microplastics to humans include ingestion, inhalation, and dermal penetration, with the last of these needing equal attention as the other two main routes Evidence showed the presence of microplastics in human-derived
- Microplastics are everywhere — we need to understand how they affect . . .
The health risks of exposure to microplastics are just beginning to be understood
- Microplastics Everywhere | Harvard Medicine Magazine
Although the variety of microplastics and the difficulty of estimating accumulation in human tissues make it challenging to pin down risks, findings in models show inflammation, cell death, lung and liver effects, changes in the gut microbiome, and altered lipid and hormone metabolism
- I’m a Microplastics Researcher. Here’s How To Limit Their Dangers
Exposure to these substances has been shown to increase the risk of everything from infertility to poorer fetal development and cancer How do you try to avoid microplastics and other toxins in your family’s food? I don’t microwave in plastic
- What’s lurking in your body? Mayo probes health risks of tiny plastic . . .
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine are investigating health risks linked to tiny plastic particles
