Investigating the inflammatory effect of microplastics in cigarette butts on peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Abstract Cigarette filter microplastics are composed of cellulose acetate that does not undergo biological or photo-degradation. These microplastics are readily dispersed and can be found abundantly in water, soil, and air. These fibers possess high absorption capabilities, allowing them to collect...
