摘要: 微塑料对生殖系统的毒性作用研究是当前环境科学和公共卫生领域的热点。微塑料在环境中的广泛存在可能对生物体产生显著影响。本文系统综述了微塑料的环境行为、毒性机制及其对生殖系统的多层次影响。研究微塑料对生殖系统的毒性作用,为环境保护和公众健康保障提供科学依据,也为评估对环境和人类健康的潜在风险提供了重要参考。
Abstract: Research on the toxic effects of microplastics on the reproductive system is a current hot topic in environmental science and public health. The widespread presence of microplastics in the environment may have significant effects on living organisms. This paper systematically reviews the environmental behavior of microplastics, toxicity mechanisms and their multilevel effects on the reproductive system, and the study of the toxic effects of microplastics on the reproductive system helps provide a scientific basis for environmental protection and public health protection, and also offers important references for assessing potential risks to the environment and human health.
