They are used to manufacture a wide variety of products (toys, household appliances, textiles, packaging, etc.), many of which are discarded by consumers after a single use. This has led to a large accumulation of plastic waste in the environment. One of the main concerns is their degradation and fragmentation to form microplastics (1 μm - 5 mm) and nanoplastics (< 1 μm). According to findings from in vivo and in vitro studies, micro(nano)plastics can accumulate in the human body generating some negative responses. In this paper, we explore the existing evidence on the routes of human exposure to micro(nano)plastics and the possible effects on human health. Los plásticos son materiales de enorme importancia en la sociedad actual con aplicaciones en diversos aspectos de la vida diaria, incluida la medicina, la tecnología, el transporte y la construcción. Se utilizan para fabricar una gran variedad de productos (juguetes, electrodomésticos, textiles, envases, etc.), muchos de los cuales son desechados por los consumidores después de un solo uso. Lo anterior, ha generado una gran acumulación de residuos plásticos en el medio ambiente. Una de las principales preocupaciones es su degradación y fragmentación para la formación de microplásticos (1 μm – 5 mm) y nanoplásticos (< 1 μm). Según los hallazgos de estudios in vivo e in vitro, los micro(nano)plásticos pueden acumularse en el cuerpo humano generando algunas respuestas negativas. En este trabajo, se explora la evidencia existente sobre las rutas de exposición humana a micro(nano)plásticos y los posibles efectos en la salud.
