Article Synopsis
- Microplastics (MPs) from plastic products can enter the human body; this study focuses on assessing MP exposure in large populations using epidemiological methods.
- Participants who had certain health conditions were excluded from the study, and those remaining were divided into groups based on their exposure to disposable plastic tableware during meals.
- Comparison of MP levels before and after exposure revealed significant differences in type and quantity of MPs, with statistical analyses showing that questionnaire-based evaluations can effectively replace fecal sample analysis for assessing MP exposure.
