Impact of microplastics on the human gut microbiome: a systematic review of microbial composition, diversity, and metabolic disruptions

Abstract Global plastic waste production remains a critical environmental issue. Microplastics (MPs), plastic particles less than 5 mm, are now pervasive across ecosystems. Humans are exposed to MPs via ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact raising concerns about their health impacts. This syste...
