Evaluating the toxicity of polystyrene micro- and nanoplastics in human bronchial epithelial cells: differences and challenges using aerosol and suspension exposures

Objective: Studies investigating toxicity of airborne micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are mostly based on conventional submerged cell cultures while limited studies utilize air-liquid interface (ALI) systems. Inherent differences in these culture/exposure modalities, such as parti...
