Adolescents are frequently exposed to MPs through the consumption of food contaminated with MPs and the use of plastics in food packaging. Water and air are sources of MP exposure in children from infancy through adolescence. This study thoroughly summarized how MP exposure in children of all ages causes cell damage and leads to adverse health effects such as cancer.

Owing to the high risk of severe neurodevelopmental impairment in 22-23 weeks' gestation, proactive care is sometimes withheld according to ethical or legal considerations, and there are significant differences in the provision of proactive care and survival rates across countries or institutions. Additionally, there are differing or even lacking guidelines regarding the care of these infants across countries and institutions. Japan and Sweden are countries with well-established national guidance and proactive care for infants born at 22-23 weeks' gestation, resulting in higher survival rates among them. In Korea, where there is an extreme shortage of neonatologists, maternal transfer before delivery at 22-23 weeks' gestation to high-activity regions with appropriate neonatal intensive care unit resources, such as adequate personnel and facilities similar to the centralized care model seen in Sweden, is crucial for improving the survival rates of infants born at 22-23 weeks' gestation.
