Microplastics (MP) are plastic particles with dimension up to 5 mm. Due their persistence, global spread across different ecosystems and potential human health effects, they have gained increasing attention during the last decade. However, extent of exposure MP through pathways intake not been elucidated.The objective this review is provide an overview on inhalation, ingestion, dermal contact considering data from open bibliography in air, dust, food, water drinks.A bibliographic search Scopus PubMed was conducted using keywords outdoor indoor food including beverages (n = 521). Articles were sorted by title abstract 213), only studies reporting identification quantification techniques further considered 168). A total 115 articles that include quality assurance control (QA/QC) procedures finally discussed present review. Based concentration available literature, we estimated inhaled dose (ID), dust (DI), daily (EDI) via beverages. Finally, (TDI) both inhalation ingestion routes provided for adults, infants newborns.The concentrations according bibliography. Human air food/drinks consumption revealed drinking waters main sources MP.This study reveals humans constantly exposed MP, environment ingest decisively contribute intake. Additionally, highlight newborns high needed evaluate presence risk vulnerable age-population.

Plastics have been extensively used in the building and construction industries for decades. However, more plastics are utilised, microplastics released. This review analysis article summarises organises knowledge from 211 current related publications published 2014–2022. The explain kinds of employed built environment. Fabrics or textiles, fibres cementitious systems, paints, tyres roads discussed. entry points into human body reviewed next, followed by management recycled wastes. important research gaps possible solutions include using high-strength concretes surface-hardening agents is suggested to encapsulate inside matrix; DPSIR model can be holistically adopted each composite; innovative bio-chemical technology like self-healing concrete bio-degradable a viable choice; social science, law urban planning support awareness comprehension.

A global study on tap water samples has found that up to 83% of these contained microplastic fibres. These findings raise concerns about their potential health risks. Ingested particles have already been associated with harmful effects in animals, which similar outcomes humans. Microplastics are ubiquitous the environment, commonly disposed landfills and waste sites. Within indoor environments, common sources synthetic textiles, plastic bottles, packaging. From various point sources, they globally distributed through air can enter humans pathways. The finding microplastics fresh snow Antarctic highlights just how widely dispersed. behaviour risks from strongly influenced by physicochemical properties, is why surfaces important. Surface interactions also important pollutant transport via adsorption onto particles. Our review covers latest research including statistics abundance, occurrence fate methods reducing exposure removal. We conclude proposing future directions into more effective remediation new technologies sustainable green need be explored achieve success removal waters at large scale.

Human exposure to microplastics (MPs), especially from indoor air, has aroused growing public concern, but very little is known about the assessment of individual MPs inhalation exposure. In this study, a total 30 volunteers were recruited Shanghai, China. Both human inhaled aerosol (HIA) and exhaled breath (HEB) samples pairwise collected for each participant analyzed through micro-Raman imaging spectroscopy. detected in all samples, averaging 43 ± 16 (range 11–92) items/m3 HIA 12 5 3–28) HEB. Moreover, dominant components small fragment- fiber-shaped MPs. It estimated that daily intake was roughly 704 254 items, most which would deposited airway with 526 203 whereas 178 75 items could be discharged via The actual overestimated by 1.33 times HIA-based approach 1.40 smaller (<10 μm). These results suggest integration HEB should considered when evaluating respiration.
