1 Sources and intake routes of MPs and their role in the human plastiphere. MPs originate from the environment, food, packaging, and textiles, and enter the body through ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. Inside the body, MPs contribute to a human plastipherea bioparticulate system characterized by persistence, biological interactions, and organ-specific accumulation.

2 Demographic and methodological characterization of human microplastic exposure studies. (a) Geographic distribution of studies reporting human microplastic detection by country. (b) Age groups assessed in human microplastic exposure studies, highlighting a predominance of adult-only samples. (c) Gender representation across all studies, showing a modest male bias. (d) Health status of studied populations, with nearly half of studies focused on individuals with underlying conditions. (e) Occupational groups included in studies, with a large proportion not reporting occupational background. (f) Distribution of study sample sizes per sampled compartment, with most studies involving fewer than 30 participants. (g) Analytical detection methods used across human tissue microplastic studies, showing frequent use of Py-GCMS and LDIR.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
