Abstract in brief

Microplastics (MPs), tiny plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, are found everywhere in the environment and can contaminate food, water, and air, leading to human exposure mainly through ingestion and inhalation.
Once inside the human body, MPs can accumulate in the gut, disrupting the gut microbiome, which can cause imbalance in beneficial and harmful bacteria, leading to digestive issues, inflammation, and possibly chronic diseases.
The disruption of the gut microbiome from MPs might also affect the gut-brain axis, potentially leading to neuroinflammatory conditions and links to diseases like cardiovascular and inflammatory disorders, highlighting the need for further research on their health impacts.
