A rapid review and meta-regression analyses of the toxicological impacts of microplastic exposure in human cells. (2021)
Journal Article
Danopoulos, E., Twiddy, M., West, R., & Rotchell, J. M. (in press). A rapid review and meta-regression analyses of the toxicological impacts of microplastic exposure in human cells. Journal of hazardous materials, Article 127861. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.127861

Humans are exposed to microplastics (MPs) daily via ingestion and inhalation. It is not known whether this results in adverse health effects and, if so, at what levels of exposure. Without epidemiological studies, human cell in vitro MP toxicological...

Microplastic contamination of seafood intended for human consumption: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2020)
Journal Article
Danopoulos, E., Jenner, L., Twiddy, M., & Rotchell, J. M. (2020). Microplastic contamination of seafood intended for human consumption: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Environmental Health Perspectives, 128(12), 126002-1-126002-32. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP7171

Background: Microplastics (MPs) have contaminated all compartments of the marine environment including biota such as seafood; ingestion from such sources is one of the two major uptake routes identified for human exposure.
Objectives: The objectives... Read More about Microplastic contamination of seafood intended for human consumption: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Microplastic contamination of drinking water: a systematic review. (2020)
Journal Article
Danopoulos, E., Twiddy, M., & Rotchell, J. M. (2020). Microplastic contamination of drinking water: a systematic review. PLoS ONE, 15(7 July), Article e0236838. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0236838

Background
Microplastics (MPs) are omnipresent in the environment, including the human food chain; a likely important contributor to human exposure is drinking water.
Objective
To undertake a systematic review of MP contamination of drinking water... Read More about Microplastic contamination of drinking water: a systematic review..
