Human exposure to microplastic and nanoplastic particles C
Generally, microplastics and nanoplastics pose potential risks to human health. Evidence from clinical studies indicates that they can enter the human body via ingestion, inhalation and absorption through the skin and accumulate in organs including the placenta (Wright and Kelly 2017; Cox et al. 2019; Koelmans et al. 2019; WHO 2019, Landrigan et al. 2020).
