Global environmental contamination by microplastics (MPs) is a growing problem with potential One Health impacts. The presence of MPs in vital organs, such as the heart, particular concern, but knowledge still limited. goal present pilot study was to investigate heart wild specimens three commercial fish species (Merluccius merluccius, Sardina pilchardus, and Trisopterus luscus) from North East Atlantic Ocean. Heart samples 154 were analysed for MP content (one sample per fish). A total 44 recovered species. had varied chemical composition (5 polymers), shapes (4) colours (5). Differences profile among observed (p ≤ 0.05). Thirty (19%) their hearts, mean (±SD) concentration 0.286 ± 0.644 MPs/fish. S. pilchardus highest There no significant > 0.05) differences between M. merluccius T. luscus. These findings different biological ecological traits together literature data suggest that likely disseminated phenomenon. Therefore, further research on cardiovascular system its health effects very much needed.

Microplastics and nanoplastics, degraded plastic polymers, are increasing in the environment, raising concerns about their potential health impacts, particularly on cardiovascular system. This systematic review aimed to investigate prospective effects of MPs NPs toxicity. study was written following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The risk bias included studies assessed using SYRCLE tool. Our 38 vivo dating back from 2017 2024 several databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Taylor & Francis, ProQuest, Wiley Online Library, with inclusion criteria (PECOS) (1) Population: Animal; (2) Exposure: All types exposure micro nanoplastics; (3) Comparison: Placebo/ Control; (4) Outcome: Cardiotoxicity, inhibition development tissue, oxidative stress, inflammation, abnormal structure; (5) Study design: In experimental study. Studies reveal that cause toxicity through deposition, morphological changes, biomarker alterations, metabolism genetic regulation related injury, stress. is limited comparison different particle sizes, dose exposure, duration toward cardiotoxicity, does not compare between types.

Nanomaterials possess different properties that make them suitable for application in numerous fields. Nonetheless, their toxicity, especially neurotoxic propensity, is a considerable area of investigation. In this chapter, nanomaterial neurotoxicity reviewed detail, with an emphasis on assessing levels exposure or routes entry to brain cells, mechanisms by which they cause damage, and specific types damage. addition, vitro, ex vivo, vivo models used measure are described. This chapter provides discussion matter considering challenges terms characterization, risk assessment, regulatory aspects. concludes underscoring the importance toxicological prediction safe-by-design solutions. Future research should address long-term effects using nanomaterials means preventing neurotoxicity.
