| Resum: |
In recent years, the terms "microplastics" (MPLs) and "nanoplastics" (NPLs) have caught increasing attention and have become the focus of many studies in ecological and environmental research areas. These tiny particles, mainly derived from the degradation of plastics, pollute the marine and terrestrial ecosystems having the ability to enter into the food web. In this way, the human consumption of food contaminated with MPLSs and NPLs is unavoidable and its related effects are still unclear. In the presented work, with the aim of complementing previous reviews on this topic, new studies related to exposure, absorption, and toxicity in mammalian in vivo and in vitro studies are presented. As novel information extracted from this work, gaps, and limitations hindering the drawing of firm conclusions and the preparation of a reliable risk assessment are identified. Subsequently, recommendations for in vivo and in vitro testing methods are given in order to perform further relevant and targeted research. |
