Abstract Plastic pollution is widely recognized as a major environmental concern due to the entry of small plastic particles into food chain, thereby posing potential risks human health. However, current understanding microplastic (MP; <5 mm) in livestock, which serve an important source, limited. This study aims investigate abundance and characteristics MPs edible tissues cow sheep, namely liver, meat, tripe, obtained from butcher shops five areas Bushehr port, Iran. The average concentration different sheep were 0.14 0.13 items/g, respectively. Among examined tissues, meat exhibited highest MPs, with 0.19 items/g. Nylon fiber identified predominant polymer types shapes found Furthermore, no statistically significant difference was observed MP across sheep. Significantly, this highlights elevated associated exposure through consumption particularly for children who consume meat. results underscore transfer environment livestock bodies their food, accumulation within subsequent health consumers.

Celluloid, the predecessor to plastic, was synthesized in 1869, and due technological advancements, plastic products appear be ubiquitous daily life. The massive production, rampant usage, inadequate disposal of have led severe environmental pollution. Consequently, reducing employment has emerged as a pressing concern for governments globally. This review explores microplastics, including their origins, absorption, harmful effects on environment humans. Several methods exist breaking down plastics, thermal, mechanical, light, catalytic, biological processes. Despite these methods, microplastics (MPs, between 1 5 mm size) continue produced during degradation. Acknowledging significant threat that MPs pose human health is imperative. form pollution pervasive air food infiltrates our bodies through ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact. It essential assess potential hazards can introduce. There evidence suggesting may negative impacts different areas health. These include respiratory, gastrointestinal, immune, nervous, reproductive systems, liver organs, skin, even placenta placental barrier. encouraging see most countries taken steps regulate particles. measures aim reduce which today. At same time, this summarizes degradation mechanism impact health, reduction policies worldwide. provides valuable information future research regulatory development.

Nowadays, animal manure composting constitutes a sustainable alternative for farmers to enhance the level of nutrients within soils and achieve good productivity. However, pollutants may be present in manures. This study focuses on detection environmental microplastics (EMPs) into composts, as well assessment their potential toxicity earthworm Eisenia andrei. To these aims, animals were exposed two types compost, namely bovine (cow) ovine (sheep) manure, besides mixture, 7 14 days. The presence characterization EMPs was evaluated all tested tissues earthworms. impact composts assessed by multi-biomarker approach including cytotoxic (lysosomal membrane stability, LMS), genotoxic (micronuclei frequency, MNi), biochemical (activity catalase, CAT, glutathione-S-transferase, GST; content malondialdehyde, MDA), neurotoxic acetylcholinesterase, AChE) responses Results indicated high levels especially sheep (2273.14 ± 200.89 items/kg) comparison cow (1628.82 175.23 items/kg), with size <1.22 μm most abundant EMPs. A time-dependent decrease LMS AChE noted earthworms, concomitant increase DNA damages (MNi) after days exposure. Also, severe oxidative stress recorded treated different compost through an CAT GST activities, LPO levels, Therefore, it is necessary carefully consider findings agricultural practices terms plastic mitigation usage, order prevent any risk environment health.

Microplastics (MPs) are widely distributed in the environment, and they inevitably enter animal bodies during livestock poultry farming, leading to their presence manure. However, there is limited research on effects of different types MPs anaerobic digestion (AD) performance Herein, we investigated impact four (polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)) AD using cattle manure as a substrate. Results demonstrated that cumulative methane production PE group reached 5568.05 mL, exhibiting an 11.97% increase compared control group. Conversely, was decreased by 5.52%, 9.69%, 14.48% PP, PVC, PHA groups, respectively. Physicochemical analyses showed promoted organic matter hydrolysis day 4 AD, accumulation volatile fatty acids (VFAs) initial stage. Specifically, acetic acid content 44.48–92.07 mL/L higher than first 8 days. also enriched microorganisms associated with production. The abundance Firmicutes enhanced 2.89–17.57%, Methanosaeta 8.42–12.48%, Methanospirillum 10.91–16.89% comparison control; whereas 8.14–31.40%. Moreover, inhibited suppressing acetate kinase activity while promoting lactate dehydrogenase release from involved process. Based changes observed key enzyme functional gene abundances, reduced acetyl-CoA carboxylase abundance, negatively affecting acetone cleavage methanogenesis pathway. Meanwhile, significantly increased acetate-CoA ligase thereby results provide novel insights into influence exerted when applied

Microplastics (MPs) in landfill leachate are a critical environmental challenge due to their persistence natural environment, where they resist degradation and pose long-term risks, including harm aquatic ecosystems human health. Specifically, Supit Urang Landfill Malang discharges containing microplastics into the Sumber Beling River, which flows through densely populated areas of Mulyorejo Bandulan. This poses significant risk, as public awareness microplastic pollution remains low, residents continue using river for activities like fishing, washing, bathing. study examines distribution properties River assessed ecological risk levels. Nine sampling points were chosen represent sources, upstream quality controls, downstream sites impacted by pollution. We employed ATR-FTIR spectroscopy its high accuracy identifying microplastics, along with an assessment PHI, PLI, PERI. The results revealed that abundance varied between 63 240 particles / L, highest concentration found (TS.7). predominant shapes MPs films (48.30%) fragments (42.98%), polypropylene (PP) polyethylene (PE) being most prevalent polymers detected.
