Abstract

En 中文

• Direct medical MNP exposure bypasses barriers, amplifying potential health risks. • MNPs arise unintentionally & intentionally in medicine. • Analytical challenges hinder risk assessment, especially for nanoplastics. • A lack of hazard characterization prevents robust human risk assessment. • Bibliometrics reveal a disconnect between exposure detection and safety management.
