Effects of Nanoplastics on Human Health: A Comprehensive Study

Abstract

Microplastics or nanoplastics are particles of plastic with a size range of 1 to 1000 nm and have emerged as a big public health concern due to their pervasive presence in the environment and their potential to gradually harm human health. This study provides an overview of the capability of nanoplastics to cause complex and diverse effects on human health, consisting of information from pre-existing research from multidisciplinary fields such as toxicology, environmental science, epidemiology, and public health.
