Microplastics in the urban atmosphere: Sources, occurrences, distribution, and potential health implications

Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12, P. 100346 - 100346

Urbanization itself is a major and furthermost imperative contributor to the release of microplastics into environments. As cities grow develop, more plastic products are consumed discarded, resulting in increased pollution levels. Although researches on airborne (AMPs) urban regions scare, recent findings have shown high concentration them air residential areas. Textiles main source indoor ambiance, while traffic-related particles, textiles agricultural marine appear be responsible for polluting cities' outdoor atmosphere. Local metrological situation, topography physical features particles control behavior, distribution fate microplastics. Inhalation primary exposure route may induce toxicity respiratory tract. Understanding these factors crucial developing effective strategies mitigate their impact human health environment. Current work reviews published literature settings aiming at characterizing parent's materials, potential sources both spaces, possible impacts along with some further suggestions.

Occurrence, quantification and characterisation of microplastics in Godavari River, India

Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 8, P. 100542 - 100542

Published: Nov. 8, 2023

One of the difficult and well-known pollutants that has a negative impact on human health is Microplastics (MPs). This study's primary goal to present state our understanding evidence, quantification, origin, effects MPs in Godavari River. According quantitative analysis investigation (digestion, separation, filtration, characterization), mean MP concentration river was found be 3.9 items/L (3900 Items/m3). were at all six sites, with concentrations ranging from 6.5 2.2 (6500–2200 items/m3). The most prevalent shape fiber (81.5 %), followed by foam (13.2%), fragments (4.4%), film (0.7%). colors observed blue (26%), Transparent (25%), pink (17%), yellow (9%), black (8%), white (6%), green (3%), red (2%), violet From chemical characterization ATR-FTIR, polymers detected polypropylene (PP), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density (LDPE), (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) ABS, EVA, (polystyrene) PS, nylon. Urban areas have higher than less populated areas. Through direct or indirect consumption, River may risk agriculture, living beings. current study adds pollution provides baseline data can used assess precise mitigation.
