摘要

Microplastics have been identified in various human tissues. While laboratory studies have shown that microplastics can cause damage and adversely affect physical functions at multiple levels, significant knowledge gaps persist. These include uncertainties regarding the dose-response relationship, specific target organs, and the underlying toxicological mechanisms. Future research is critical to address public concerns, encompassing the accurate quantification of microplastics through advanced technologies and a thorough risk assessment grounded in an evidence-based framework.
