Airborne microplastics: Consequences to human health?,<\/p>\n

Environmental Pollution, Volume 234, 2018, Pages 115-126, ISSN 0269-7491,<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/p>\n

Microplastics have recently been detected in atmospheric fallout in Greater Paris. Due to their small size, they can be inhaled and may induce lesions in the respiratory system dependent on individual susceptibility and particle properties.
\nEven though airborne microplastics are a new topic, several observational studies have reported the inhalation of plastic fibers and particles, especially in exposed workers, often coursing with dyspnea caused by airway and
\ninterstitial inflammatory responses. Even though environmental concentrations are low, susceptible individuals may be at risk of developing similar lesions.
\nTo better understand airborne microplastics risk to human health, this work summarizes current knowledge with the
\nintention of developing awareness and future research in this area.<\/p>\n
