Micro(nano)plastics in Organ Systems

Micro(nano)plastics in Organ Systems: Health Impacts, Challenges, and Future Prospects comprehensively discusses the impact of micro(nano)plastics on human health, analyzing their sources, classification, and exposure pathways, while exploring their interactions with biological systems, the potential effects on various organ systems, and concerns related to bioaccumulation and toxicity. The book begins with an in-depth analysis of their classification, sources, and exposure pathways, and progressing through interactions with biological systems and the resulting toxicological effects. The text meticulously examines the implications of these particles on various organ systems-including the gastrointestinal, respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, neurological, reproductive, and metabolic systems-while addressing critical issues such as bioaccumulation, immunological responses, and their potential harmful impact on health. Furthermore, the book delves into recent advances in detection technologies, the development of more sustainable advances such as bioplastic-based nanoparticles, and the pressing need for regulatory frameworks to mitigate the health risks associated with micro(nano)plastics. It is an essential resource for toxicologists, environmental scientists, healthcare professionals, public health advocates, and others interested in the implications of micro(nano)plastics on health.
