Understanding the interaction of micro(nano)plastics with simulated saliva, lysosomal and Gamble’s fluids and their impact on human lung epithelial A549 cells
Abstract:Micro(nano)plastics are considered an emerging threat to human health since they have potential to interact with biological systems and already been found in the human body, e.g., lungs. However, limited data is available for their behavior under biological conditions and impact on human cells, specifically alveolar epithelial cells. In this study, micro(nano)plastics weathered to various simulated biological fluids (saliva, artificial lysosomal fluids, Gamble’s solution) during 2 h to 80 h. Pristine and weath… Show more
