Cumulative evidence suggested that nanoplastics (NPs) cause male toxicity, but the mechanisms of which are still misty. Steroidogenesis is a key biological event that responsible for maintaining reproductive health. However, whether dysregulated steroidogenesis is involved in NPs-induced impaired male reproductive function and the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

We aimed to explore the connection between urinary PAH metabolites and liver function in early pregnant women in southwest China based on the Zunyi birth cohort. Ten urinary PAH metabolites and five liver function parameters during early pregnancy were measured.

- Microplastics (MPs) are tiny plastic particles (<5 mm) found everywhere in the environment and can absorb harmful chemicals, posing risks to ecosystems and human health.
- The review highlights the ways MPs can enter the food chain, accumulate in living organisms, and impact human health, focusing on their interactions with biological barriers.
- It also covers recent advancements in MP removal and control, and sets forth future strategies for preventing MP hazards to aid regulatory decisions and promote safer plastic usage.
