Exposure to Microplastics is Associated With the Risk of Cancer in Children

Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging environmental contaminant that has raised public concern [۱, ۲]. MPs are plastic particles less than ۵ mm in size. MPs are polymers, usually containing carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and/or silicon. Polyethylene, polyamide, polypropylene, and poly (ethylene terephthalate) are the most common polymers. The MPs have various forms, including fibers, fragments, and films, and colors, including colorless, black, and brown forms. They are found in tap water, bottled water, beverages, air, oceans, and soil.
