Microplastics from disposable paper cups are enriched in the placenta and fetus, leading to metabolic and reproductive toxicity during pregnancy

2024-01-21

Abstract excerpt

The health implications of microplastics (MPs), especially those originating from hot drinks in disposable paper cups (DPCs), are increasingly alarming. We investigated the accumulation and metabolic and reproductive toxicological effects of MPs from DPCs filled with hot water in various tissues in a pregnant mouse model. Simulating human intake of 0.3, 3.3, and 33.3 cups daily, we found MPs exposure-induced dose-...
