Description

Plastic particles are ubiquitous and known to be persistent in the environment. Micro- and nano-plastics (MNPs) can serve as carriers for microbial pathogens and chemical compounds. Our knowledge on the potential health hazards associated with MNPs contaminated by bacterial particles remains limited. Here, we report the toxic effects of high-density polyethylene microparticles (HDPE-MPs) mixed with heat-inactivated Pseudomonas Lurida (PL) in human lung alveolar type II cells (A549)
