Investigation of the uptake and distribution of nano- and microplastics in mice after a single high dose administered orally. Using fluorescent microspheres of three different sizes (100 nm, 3 μm, and 10 μm), the study tracks their presence in various organs and tissues using imaging and histological analysis. The findings indicate that smaller nanoplastics are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and distributed throughout the body, while larger microplastics primarily remain in the digestive system, with limited presence in other organs like the lung and kidney. The research suggests that particle size significantly impacts the body's absorption and distribution of plastics, potentially leading to different health effects.
