The study identifies a gap in the current understanding of the impact of microplastics on human health, particularly in children. The study highlights the need to investigate the effect of nasal irrigation on microplastic clearance in children with adenoid hypertrophy, with or without otitis media with effusion.

The upper airway has received relatively limited attention despite being the first anatomical interface for inhaled particles. The effects of microplastics on human health are not fully understood. Further research is needed to fully understand the effects of microplastics on human health and to develop strategies for reducing exposure.
