DOI: 10.1080/10643389.2023.2195798
Abstract: Abstract Microplastics are widespread contaminants leading to environmental exposure. While studies on the prevalence in human tissues have multiplied, little is known about their pharmacokinetics. Mechanisms of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) must be… read more here.

Polyethylene Microplastics and Human Cells: A Critical Review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Toxics"
DOI: 10.3390/toxics13090756
Abstract: The widespread production and poor management of plastic waste have led to the pervasive presence of microplastics (MPs) in environmental and biological systems. Among various polymers, polyethylene (PE) is the most widely produced plastic globally,… read more here.
