Polystyrene Nanoplastics Disrupt Mouse Placenta Development in a Sex-Dependent Manner

2026-05-26

Abstract excerpt

Plastic production has been increasing exponentially. Throughout their lifespan, plastics degrade into smaller particles that accumulate in our bodies and the environment. Recent studies found these plastic particles can cross the placental barrier and reach the fetus. However, the impact of plastic particles on placental function is still unknown. We hypothesized that nanoplastics would disrupt placental growth a...
