ImpactModerate impact

Participants highlight the growing concern and scientific attention on microplastics, suggesting the publication could influence future research and policy considerations.

Abstract in brief

  • Microplastics are widespread and are considered indicators of a new geological epoch called the Plasticene, but their health impacts are not fully understood due to their complex physical and chemical properties.
  • Microplastics can carry toxic chemicals both from the environment and added intentionally during manufacturing, acting as carriers of hazardous substances that may pose risks to human health.
  • The study reviews current research on the presence of dangerous chemicals in microplastics, their pathways of human exposure, and emphasizes the need for further studies to fill knowledge gaps about their health effects.
