An overview of research on the association between microplastics and central nervous system disorders
X. Shi, Y. Wang, et al.
Microplastics are emerging as pervasive contaminants linked to central nervous system disorders. This review, conducted by Xiaohua Shi, Yukai Wang, and Lei Xu, synthesizes evidence that microplastics enter the body via inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption, accumulate in neural tissues, and trigger inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuronal damage — offering a basis for risk assessment and policy.
