虽然塑料的多功能应用为我们的生活带来了巨大的好处，但“塑料报废”也带来了新的缺点，即环境各个部分的塑料颗粒。塑料具有很强的抗降解性，可在环境中长时间保存，因此微塑料很容易进入人类食物链。人类接触微塑料是由动物和植物来源的食物、食品添加剂、饮料和塑料食品包装引起的。生物体可以在细胞和组织中积累微塑料，从而导致慢性生物效应的威胁和对人类的潜在健康危害，包括身体胃肠道疾病、免疫力、呼吸系统问题、癌症、不孕症和染色体改变。由于微塑料对人类健康构成威胁，因此必须确保食品安全并通过严格规定适当管理来控制塑料的使用。本研究旨在为未来研究微塑料的核心成分、它们与人类食物的接触、预防人类食物链以及人体内的生物反应提供启发。最后，建议考虑不同食物中微塑料的存在，因为大多数现有研究主要集中在海鲜上。根据塑料颗粒的不同类型、形状和大小，研究人体内途径的毒性机制非常重要。

Microplastics in human food chains: Food becoming a threat to health safety

While versatile application of plastics has generated huge benefits in our life, the ‘plastic end-of-life’ comes with downsides of emerging concern is plastic particles within all parts of environments. Plastics are highly resistant to degradation and sustain in the environment for a prolonged period resulting in easy access of microplastics into human food chain. Microplastic exposure to humans is caused by foods of both animal and plant origin, food additives, drinks, and plastic food packaging. Living organisms can accumulate microplastics in cells and tissues which results in threats of chronic biological effects and potential health hazards for humans including body gastrointestinal disorders, immunity, respiratory problem, cancer, infertility, and alteration in chromosomes. Because of the threat of microplastics on human health, it is essential to ensure food safety as well as control plastic use with strict regulation of proper management. This study aims to enlighten future research into the core component of microplastics, their exposure to human food, prevention to human food chain, and biological reactions in human body. Finally, it is recommended to consider the presence of microplastics in different foods, as most of the existing research mainly focused on sea foods. And it is important to study the mechanism of toxicity with pathways in the human body based on the different types, shapes, and sizes of plastic particles.
