However, there have been few reports on the biological effects of microplastics in the lungs. In this study, we conducted a short-term inhalation exposure study using rats to evaluate lung disorders with microplastics. METHODS. Inhalation exposure was conducted using 8-week-old male Fischer 344 ...

High exposure to microplastic fibers in nylon flock workers has been linked to the development of airway and interstitial lung disease, but the exact health effects of microplastic fibers on the lungs are unknown. Here we determined effects of polyester and nylon textile microplastic fibers on ...
Breathing in Microplastic: The Newest Form of Air Pollution Destroying Our Lungs We’re at a point now where plastic is so persistent in our environment, that now it’s ending up in our bodies. Arecent studyconducted by the Environment Agency Austria figures that over half of the world ...
For uptake, particles < 2.5 μm and fibers are of most concern for the lungs whereas also larger particles can be taken up by the intestinal tissue [16], and our particles to study uptake were selected accordingly. MNP uptake was quantified with transport rates of approximately 3.5% (0...
This study explored the role of lactate, a key metabolite of the microbiota, in the development of lung damage induced by nano-MPs (LDMP). After 28 days of exposure to nano-MPs (50–100 nm), mice mainly exhibited damage to the lungs and intestinal mucosa and dysbiosis of the gut ...
they form granulomas in which macrophages remain in a vegetative state. Granulomatous inflammation progresses according to the degree of inflow, and fibrosis develops accordingly [104,105]. As inflammatory and fibrotic lesions persist, the dead space in the lungs increases, decreasing normal lung funct...
Fibrous particles in the tens of microns in size can be deposited in lungs (Wright and Kelly 2017), while particles smaller than 1 µm can be deposited deeper in lungs and even enter the circulatory and lymphatic systems through diffusion, passive cellular penetration, or active uptake (...
