Exposure to micro‐ and nano‐plastics: From human internal burden to systems‐level health‐risk interpretation

iMeta, EarlyView.
Micro‐ and nano‐plastics (MNPs) can enter the human body through inhalation, ingestion, contact with consumer products, and iatrogenic routes. The clinical relevance of MNP exposure should be interpreted at three levels: barrier interaction, cellular stress, and system‐level disruption, with key mechanisms including oxidative stress, mitochondrial ...
