Study on the association between microplastic exposure and gut microbiota based on metagenomics: A pilot study on 66 young college students in China
Participants with higher mass concentrations of microplastics in their stools exhibited an increase in the abundance of harmful intestinal bacteria. PS microplastics had the most profound impact on the gut microbiota structure.
