Microplastics: A threat to Fetoplacental unit and Reproductive systems by Abass Toba Anifowoshe, Md Noor Akhtar, Abisola Majeed, Asem Sanjit Singh, Toyyibah Funmilayo Ismail, Upendra Nongthomba

“…This review aims to address this knowledge gap by examining the effects of MNPs on the fetoplacental unit, a vital structure that serves as the interface between the mother and fetus during pregnancy, as well as on the broader reproductive system. Traditionally viewed as a protective barrier safeguarding the fetus, emerging evidence suggests that the placenta may also act as a site for the accumulation of plastic particles, thereby compromising its function. …”
