Plastic Pollution in Human Reproduction: Should We Worry? – RBMO

Reproductive BioMedicine Online shared a post on LinkedIn:

“This new study from Claudio Fenizia and colleagues in Italy addresses the risks from plastic pollution to reproductive health, with a call for this issue to become a global priority.

The review documents a growing body of evidence which suggests that micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) pose significant risks to human reproductive health, potentially affecting fertility, hormonal regulation, and fetal development, and highlights shortcomings in our understanding of the mechanisms of these effects and their long-term implications.

Published open access, the paper can be read in full for free from our February issue of the journal now.”
