Deposition of microplastics associated with bioaccumulation of heavy metals in human lungs of smokers: Implications of adsorption and mobilization of metals via microplastics

2025-12-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Airborne micro- and nano plastics (MNPs), generated from synthetic textiles, vehicle tires and plastic wastes, are omnipresent in the environment and known to deposit in human lungs. Bioaccumulation of MNPs in lung tissues has been studied, but effect of tobacco smoking on deposition is not well understood. Tobacco smoke is known to contain heavy metals which can get adsorbed to the MNP surfac...
