Microplastics, considered environmental toxins, are tiny fragments of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters. They have become prevalent contaminants in the environment, food chain, and increasingly, in human bodies. Research reveals that humans are regularly exposed to microplastics through food, water, air, and even skin contact, raising concerns about their potential health effects.
This article explores the pathways of microplastics into the human body, their associated health risks, and the broader implications of environmental toxins like microplastics entering the bloodstream.
