Degradation of PET microplastic particles to monomers in human serum by PETase

2023-08-16

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> More than 8 bton of plastic waste has been generated posing severe environmental consequences and health risks. Due to prolonged exposure, microplastic particles are found in human blood and other bodily fluids. Despite a lack of toxicity studies regarding microplastics, harmful effects for humans seem plausible and cannot be excluded. As small plastic particles readily translocate fr...
