A recent study suggests that microplastic exposure in male mice can negatively affect the metabolic health of their female offspring, raising concerns about potential intergenerational health risks in humans. Microplastics are pervasive environmental pollutants found in water, soil, air, and human tissues, and their impact on future generations warrants caution, especially for men planning to have children. Reducing plastic use may help minimize exposure.
