Abstrakt

Coraz więcej drobin plastiku odkrywanych w różnych elementach środowiska. Mikroplastik i nanoplastik stają się problemem zagrażającym zdrowiu człowieka. Jest to temat trudny do zbadania, ponieważ rozmiary cząsteczek powodują trudności w ich wyodrębnianiu. W artykule zebrano źródła mikroplastiku oraz podkreślono najważniejsze drogi wchłaniania do organizmu. Aspekt toksyczności na ludzki organizm wymaga jednak dalszych badań.

Słowa kluczowe: mikroplastik, mikrodrobiny, tworzywa sztuczne, zanieczyszczenia

Abstract

Title: Microplastic—the hidden problem of the modern world

More and more plastic particles are being discovered in various elements of the environment. Microplastics and nanoplastics are becoming a problem that threatens human health. This is a difficult topic to study because the size of the molecules makes it difficult to isolate them. The article summarizes the sources of microplastics and highlights the most important routes of absorption into the body. However, the aspect of toxicity to the human body requires further research.

Keywords: microplastic, plastics, pollution
