Early-life exposure to polypropylene microplastics and DEHP induces ASD-relevant neurodevelopmental alterations involving mTOR-regulated autophagy impairment

The health risks of polypropylene plastic, a major food-grade polymer, are often underestimated. Current evidence indicates that infants and young children may ingest millions of polypropylene microplastic particles (PP-MPs) daily, accompanied by co-exposure to di(2-ethylhexyl) p...
