Impact of Nano- and Microplastics on Respiratory Health: Insights from Computational Modeling
microplastics plastic pollution
Recent studies have highlighted the presence of nano- and microplastics (NMPs) in the human respiratory tract, raising concerns about their impact on respiratory health. This study employs computational modeling to investigate the behavior of NMPs within the respiratory system, focusing on their transport and deposition patterns under realistic breathing conditions. By utilizing a comprehensive respiratory tract model and considering a wide range of particle sizes, this research aims to provide valuable insights into the potential health risks associated with NMP exposure and inform regulatory measures to mitigate these risks.
