Abstract

The formation of micro and nano plastics (MNPs) and their exposure to the environment and human health system are new global problems currently being studied by scientific communities. MNPs can enter the body of a person in several ways, such as through the skin, ingestion, respiration, seafood, packed food materials, water, air, and cosmetics. Organ and tissue damage may result from the reactive oxygen species imbalance. The prolonged exposure of human health to plastics and polymer additives leads to asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, and other respiratory problems. This review analyzes the problems associated with humans and animals due to the exposure of MNPs and focuses on their impacts due to biomagnification through various biological and chemical functions. A deeper comprehension of cellular and molecular level reactions of MNP contamination to the associated environment is also discussed in this review.

微（纳）塑料暴露对人体健康系统的影响评估与评价综述

微纳米塑料的形成及其对环境和人类健康系统的暴露是目前科学界正在研究的新的全球性问题。MNPs可以通过几种方式进入人体，例如通过皮肤、摄入、呼吸、海鲜、包装食品材料、水、空气和化妆品。活性氧失衡可导致器官和组织损伤。人类健康长期暴露于塑料和聚合物添加剂会导致哮喘、支气管炎、肺炎和其他呼吸系统问题。本文分析了MNPs暴露给人类和动物带来的问题，并重点介绍了MNPs通过各种生物和化学功能产生的生物放大效应。本综述还讨论了MNP污染对相关环境的细胞和分子水平反应的更深入理解。
