Neurotoxicity of Micro- and Nanoplastics: A Comprehensive Review of Central Nervous System Impacts
Brain Harm Caused by Tiny Plastic Particles: A Complete Review of Effects on the Nervous System
AI simplified
Abstract
Micro- and (MNPs) are linked to various neurotoxic effects that may contribute to cognitive decline and motor impairments.
- MNPs can cause neuronal damage and disrupt synaptic functions.
- Exposure to MNPs is associated with and blood-brain barrier disruption.
- Potential mechanisms of MNPs toxicity include oxidative stress and immune responses.
- MNPs may interact with other pollutants, complicating their health effects.
- There is a significant need for improved pollution control and detection technologies related to MNPs.
