直径小于 5 毫米的微塑料现在存在于土壤、水和空气等各种环境介质中，并已渗透到食物链中，最终成为人类饮食的一部分。这项研究对微塑料与人类健康之间错综复杂的关系进行了全面的研究，从而为该主题的现有知识做出了贡献。对微塑料的来源进行了评估，包括来自纺织品、个人护理产品和废水处理厂等的微纤维。该研究仔细研究了微塑料暴露的不同途径——摄入、吸入和皮肤接触——提供了对相关健康风险的见解。值得注意的是，摄入微塑料与胃肠道紊乱、内分泌紊乱和病原菌的潜在传播有关。吸入空气中的微塑料已成为一个严重问题，可能对呼吸系统和心血管健康产生影响。皮肤接触虽然较少研究，但可能会引起皮肤刺激和过敏反应。还强调了 COVID-19 对微塑料污染的影响。在整个手稿中，强调了对微塑料与人体系统相互作用进行更深入的机械理解的必要性，强调了进一步研究和公众意识的紧迫性。

From oceans to dinner plates: The impact of microplastics on human health

Microplastics, measuring less than 5 mm in diameter, are now found in various environmental media, including soil, water, and air, and have infiltrated the food chain, ultimately becoming a part of the human diet. This study offers a comprehensive examination of the intricate nexus between microplastics and human health, thereby contributing to the existing knowledge on the subject. Sources of microplastics, including microfibers from textiles, personal care products, and wastewater treatment plants, among others, were assessed. The study meticulously examined the diverse routes of microplastic exposure—ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact—offering insights into the associated health risks. Notably, ingestion of microplastics has been linked to gastrointestinal disturbances, endocrine disruption, and the potential transmission of pathogenic bacteria. Inhalation of airborne microplastics emerges as a critical concern, with possible implications for respiratory and cardiovascular health. Dermal contact, although less explored, raises the prospect of skin irritation and allergic reactions. The impacts of COVID-19 on microplastic pollution were also highlighted. Throughout the manuscript, the need for a deeper mechanistic understanding of microplastic interactions with human systems is emphasized, underscoring the urgency for further research and public awareness.
