Microplastics in the Gastrointestinal Tract: A Systematic Review

Findings highlight the urgent need for interdisciplinary research to elucidate the mechanisms of MP-induced toxicity and inform public health strategies. Given the increasing plastic burden in the environment and food chain, proactive measures are essential to mitigate human exposure and its implications for global health. Further research through collaboration between clinicians and scientists is crucial to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of how MPs impact gut health and develop definitive solutions.
