Homo Plasticus





Plastic is an elusive enemy: it disguises itself; it hides, it makes itself tiny, right down to the micro or even nano scale. Between in vitro and in vivo studies, and the development of research on human populations, scientists are exploring new leads to understand the effects of micro-plastics on our health. Disruption of the microbiota, saturation of the immune system, inflammation of the lungs and intestines, DNA damage and a risk factor for cancer - the scenario unfolding before the eyes of researchers points to a major public health issue. This unprecedented investigation takes us all over Europe to better understand how plastics colonize our bodies and how they could alter them.
