A Review of Human Exposure to Microplastics and Insights Into Microplastics as Obesogens [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
The ubiquitous exposure of humans to microplastics (MPs) through inhalation of particles in air and ingestion in dust, water, and diet is well established. Humans are estimated to ingest tens of thousands to millions of MP particles annually, or on the order of several milligrams daily.
