Identification and Characterization of Microplastics in Human Cervicovaginal Lavage Fluids Using Raman Spectroscopy: A Preliminary Study

Life, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(3), P. 357 - 357

Published: Feb. 24, 2025

Microplastics have been detected in various human organs, and studies on their impact health are ongoing. However, few researched microplastics the cervicovaginal area. In this study, we aimed to assess presence lavage fluid. This prospective study was conducted at a single tertiary medical center, enrolling 10 participants aged 27–49 years. Human fluid samples were collected from patients by skilled obstetrician. Raman spectroscopy used analyze characterize microplastic particles samples.

Size distribution of nanoplastics and tyre wear particles in human tonsils

Research Square (Research Square), Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 31, 2025

This study investigates the presence of micro- and nanoplastics in human tonsil tissue. The tonsils are uniquely positioned oropharynx, a gateway to both immune, respiratory, digestive systems, thus acting as first line defence towards inhaled ingested particles. We analysed samples from 15 individuals using Thermal Desorption - Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry, detecting range types, including polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), along with notable findings tyre wear detected large differences polymer types size classes for each sample concentrations spanning over four orders magnitude, bringing nanoplastic concentration class 20-200 nm an average 350 ng/mg dry weight. is document accumulation nanosized immunologically active organ.
