Background Taking into account the global spread of microplastic (MP) pollution, problem MP impact on human health is relevant. enters organism predominantly with water and food, mostly detected in large intestine. Therefore, connection between pollution increase colitis an important question. In order to assess toxic pathogenetic effects MP, experimental studies were actively conducted during recent years, mainly laboratory mice. Objectives The aim our review was summarize systematize data effect mice colon under normal conditions role development intestinal diseases. This manuscript could be relevant for ecologists, biologists, physicians dealing problems related anthropogenic environmental changes inflammatory bowel Survey Methodology search based PubMed about original healthy colitis. Results colon, can cause oxidative stress, increased permeability, immune cell infiltration, production proinflammatory factors, decreased mucus production. affects proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation epithelial cells, expression tight junction components glycocalyx, membrane transport, signaling pathways, metabolome, microflora composition. acute chronic colitis, consumption leads a more pronounced pathological process course. Conclusions may one factors contributing humans. However, further research needed.

Pollution is a critical concern of modern society for its heterogeneous effects on human health, despite widespread lack awareness. Environmental pollutants promote several pathologies through different molecular mechanisms. Pollutants can affect the immune system and related pathways, perturbing regulation triggering pro-inflammatory responses. The exposure to also leads alterations in gut microbiota with decreasing abundance beneficial microbes, such as short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria, an overgrowth species. subsequent intestinal barrier dysfunction, together oxidative stress increased inflammatory responses, plays role pathogenesis gastrointestinal diseases. Moreover, encourage inflammation-dysplasia-carcinoma sequence various mechanisms, stress, dysregulation cellular signalling cell cycle impairment genomic instability. In this narrative review, we will describe interplay between pollutants, microbiota, system, focusing their relationship bowel diseases colorectal cancer. Understanding biological mechanisms underlying health-to-disease transition may allow design public health policies aimed at reducing burden disease pollutants.

Microplastics (MPs) are particles with a diameter of <5 mm. The disposal plastic waste into the environment poses significant and pressing issue concern globally. Growing worry has been expressed in recent years over impact MPs on both human health entire natural ecosystem. feeding digestive capabilities marine organisms, as well hinder development plant roots leaves. Numerous studies have shown that majority individuals consume substantial quantities either through their dietary intake or by inhaling them. identified various biological samples, such lungs, stool, placenta, sputum, breast milk, liver, blood. can cause illnesses humans, depending how they enter body. Healthy sustainable ecosystems depend proper functioning microbiota, however, disrupt balance microbiota. Also, due to high surface area compared volume chemical characteristics, act pollutant absorbers different environments. Multiple policies initiatives exist at domestic global levels mitigate pollution caused MPs. Various techniques currently employed remove MPs, biodegradation, filtration systems, incineration, landfill disposal, recycling, among others. In this review, we will discuss sources types presence environments food, mechanisms adsorption methods removing algae microbes.

The imperative to mitigate carbon emissions and seek sustainable alternatives cementitious materials has driven the advancement of geopolymer binders, which are inorganic binders aluminosilicate industrial-waste activated by alkaline agents. use geopolymers carries potential for significant reductions in greenhouse gas emission. Furthermore, incorporation plastic waste as aggregates addresses not only resource conservation but also environmental sustainability. This study conducted a comprehensive life-cycle assessment from fly ash precursor with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substitute natural aggregates. It was observed that when replacing PET maximum extent, global warming (GWP) category related aggregate preparation increased 16.7 %. increase attributed generated during processing, including activities such washing grinding. total GWP produce one cubic meter mixture 643.55 kgCO2-e without 667.86 optimization energy-intensive processes led remarkable reduction 19.63 % production These findings show improved sustainability mixtures emphasize critical role optimizing mitigating their impact.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a complex chronic inflammatory disorder that includes Crohn’s (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), has become globally increasing health concern. Nutrition, as an important factor influencing the occurrence development of IBD, attracted more attention. As most nutrient, protein can not only provide energy nutrition required by patients, but also help repair damaged intestinal tissue, enhance immunity, thus alleviate inflammation. Numerous studies have shown nutritional support plays significant role in treatment remission IBD. This article presents comprehensive review pathogenesis IBD analyzes summarizes potential mechanisms Additionally, it provides overview clinical effects its impact on complications.
