A detailed illustration depicting human tissues such as lungs, blood, and placenta with tiny microplastic particles dispersed throughout. The image shows inflammatory responses in the tissues, with visible cellular reactions and microplastics causing oxidative stress. In the background, various sources of microplastic pollution like plastic bottles, food packaging, and air particles are subtly integrated. The overall tone is scientific and educational, highlighting the interaction between microplastics and human health.

Topline:

Recent research suggests that human absorption of microplastics (MnPs) may exacerbate chronic inflammation, potentially increasing the risk of cancer. Understanding this connection is crucial for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies.

Study Details:

In recent years, the prevalence of microplastics in the environment has raised s…
