Abstract Microplastics (MPs;< 5 mm) in the biosphere draws public concern about their
potential health impacts. Humans are potentially exposed to MPs via ingestion, inhalation …

Contamination of the environment with nano-and microplastic particles (NMPs) and its
putative adverse effects on organisms, ecosystems, and human health is gaining increasing …

To assess the potential risk of microplastic exposure to humans and aquatic ecosystems,
reliable toxicity data is needed. This includes a more complete foundational understanding …

Humans are exposed to micro-and-nano plastics (MNPs) through various routes, but the
adverse health effects of MNPs on different organ systems are not yet fully understood. This …

Determining the risks of microplastics is difficult because data is of variable quality and
cannot be compared. Although sediments are important sinks for microplastics, no holistic …

Twenty years after the first publication using the term microplastics, we review current
understanding, refine definitions and consider future prospects. Microplastics arise from …

To fully understand the potential ecological and human health risks from nanoplastics and
microplastics (NMPs) in the environment, it is critical to make accurate measurements …

Despite decades of research detailing widespread contamination and potential risks of
microplastics (synthetic particles< 5 mm) to humans and ecosystems by the scientific …

Plastic materials have contributed to the release of environmentally relevant particulate
plastics which can be found almost everywhere and may be present in drinking water …

Insufficient data on nano-and microplastics (NMP) hinder robust evaluation of their potential
health risks. Methodological disparities and the absence of established toxicity thresholds …
