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.

Release and intestinal translocation of chemicals associated with microplastics in an in vitro human gastrointestinal digestion model

, 2021
The global production of plastic currently exceeds 300 million tonnes per year. The extensive use of plastics and bad waste management has resulted in the presence of microplastics at different levels in the food production chain.

A Review on Adsorption and Transport of Microplastics in Soil and the Effect of Ageing on Environmental Behavior of Pollutants

Yankuang ceshi, 2022
BACKGROUND Microplastics, defined as the plastic material with a size of < 5mm, have been widely attracting attention due to the high mobility and strong affinity toward pollutants.

There's something in the air: A review of sources, prevalence and behaviour of microplastics in the atmosphere.

Science of the Total Environment, 2023
Literature regarding microplastics in the atmosphere has advanced in recent years. However, studies have been undertaken in isolation with minimal collaboration and exploration of the relationships between air, deposition and dust.

Preliminary Study on the Toxic Effects of Polystyrene Microplastics in Human Colorectal Cells [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
According to this rapid urbanization background, the widespread presence of microplastics in the environment, caused by plastic pollution and poor waste management, poses a huge threat to public health.

Spatial variability of microplastic pollution on surface of rivers in a mountain-plain transitional area: A case study in the Chin Ling-Wei River Plain, China

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Inland lakes and rivers are large reservoirs of microplastics. But currently, not too much research was done on microplastics of mountain rivers. The protection of water sources from microplastics is extremely significant for the safety of human drinking
