Relationship Between Particle Properties and Immunotoxicological Effects of Environmentally-Sourced Microplastics

BackgroundConcerns on microplastics (MPs) in food are increasing because of our increased awareness of daily exposure and our knowledge gap on their potential adverse health effects. When particles are ingested, macrophages play an important role in scavenging them, potentially leading to an unwante...
