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.

Microplastics comprehensive review: Impact on honey bee, occurrence in honey and health risk evaluation

Journal of Applied Ecology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 11, 2025

Abstract Microplastics (MPs), as an environmental contaminant, pose a significant risk to both animal and human health through the food water supply chains. Honey, widely recognised safe health‐oriented product, may become compromised if its production process involves non‐biodegradable MPs. This study was conducted systematic review, using comprehensive searches of PubMed, Scopus ScienceDirect investigate effects MP on honey bee health, potential route main species composition contamination in honey. review highlights impacts MPs including mortality, sucrose response, habituation, olfactory learning, memory recall, colony performance, body size growth, gut microbiota viral infection. From mechanistic perspective, can disrupt equilibrium microbiota, adversely impact function immune system, undermine neural signalling pathways that are critical for learning processes bees. It is crucial consider applied aspects these findings beekeeping practices, adopting sustainable practices mitigate exposure minimize production. The also provided detailed information contact routes with MPs, environment (air, water, soil, pollen), (plastic hive activities). affect by altering energy homeostasis, causing oxidative stress, system deficiencies, malnutrition, reduced growth decreased reproductive rates. Synthesis applications . this highly relevant industry public policymakers. By identifying key detrimental microplastics (MPs) quality, research provides actionable insights beekeepers adopt management minimise exposure. Additionally, underscores need regulatory policies control pollution, ensuring safety product protecting pollinators health.
