Abstract Nanoplastics are pervasive environmental contaminants that continuously expose humans and accumulate in multiple organs. Increasing evidence associates NPs with adverse health effects, including inflammation and carcinogenesis, yet their impact on human innate and adaptive immunity remains poorly understood. This knowledge gap is particularly relevant for diseases treated with therapies that modulate immune responses.
