In mice, inhaled PET microplastics persisted in the lungs for at least two weeks, triggered inflammatory responses, and worsened allergy-related immune reactions, especially when combined with allergens like ragweed pollen. The findings suggest microplastics can actively modulate immune function, underscoring potential health risks that warrant further study in humans. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772416626002226?via%3Dihub
