Can Mammalian Reproductive Health Withstand Massive Exposure to Polystyrene Micro- and Nanoplastic Derivatives? A Systematic Review

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 25(22), P. 12166 - 12166

Published: Nov. 13, 2024

The widespread use of plastics has increased environmental pollution by micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs), especially polystyrene (PS-MNPs). These particles are persistent, bioaccumulative, linked to endocrine-disrupting toxicity, posing risks reproductive health. This review examines the effects PS-MNPs on mammalian systems, focusing oxidative stress, inflammation, hormonal imbalances. A comprehensive search in Web Science Core Collection, following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, identified studies impact fertility, including oogenesis, spermatogenesis, folliculogenesis. An analysis 194 publications revealed significant harm, such as reduced ovarian size, depleted follicular reserves, apoptosis somatic cells, disrupted estrous cycles females, along with impaired sperm quality imbalances males. were endocrine disruption, leading cellular molecular damage. Further research is urgently needed understand toxicity mechanisms, develop interventions, assess long-term health impacts across generations, highlighting need address these challenges given growing exposure.

Recent Advances in Cellulose Nanofiber Modification and Characterization and Cellulose Nanofiber-Based Films for Eco-Friendly Active Food Packaging

Foods, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(24), P. 3999 - 3999

Published: Dec. 11, 2024

There is growing interest in the use of bio-based materials as viable alternatives to petrochemical-based packaging. However, practical application films often hampered by their poor barrier and mechanical properties. In this context, cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) have attracted considerable attention owing exceptional biodegradability, high aspect ratio, large surface area. The extraction CNFs from agricultural waste or non-food biomass represents a sustainable approach that can effectively balance cost environmental impacts. functionalization improves economics raw production processes while expanding applications. This paper reviews recent advances nanofibers, including sources, modification, characterization techniques. Furthermore, we systematically discuss interactions with different composites development functional food films. Finally, highlight nanofiber preservation. Due environmentally friendly properties, are promising alternative petroleum-based plastics. aim present latest discoveries exploring future prospects for edible films, thereby encouraging further research field active

Microplastic particles have become ubiquitous in various ecosystems due to a drastic increase plastic use and its consequent litter. The biological effects of these on aquatic fauna are well-documented. However, the study their accumulation subsequent impact terrestrial flora is initial stages. Furthermore, favorable surface provided by plastics lodges harmful substances pathogens known cause varied human physiology. Notably, entry into gastrointestinal tract can result ailments, including dysbiosis gut microflora microbial biodiversity. Moreover, similar physiological ailments been observed humans action pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, this review, we aim explore relationship possible amplification pathogenesis ability provide surfaces for absorption biofilm formation such Additionally, there exists possibility carcinogenesis coexistence microbes micro-and nanoplastics synergistic leading severe ailments.
