Impact of Microplastics and Nanoplastics on Human Health
Abstract
Microplastics and nanoplastics are pervasive in the environment and pollute every tissue in the body. Emerging research demonstrates a positive correlation between tissue concentrations of microplastics and several common diseases. The sources of exposure are well understood and can be controlled. However, there appear to be no clinical trials for eliminating microplastics from tissues.
