Association between microplastics exposure and depressive symptoms in college students

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 295, P. 118142 - 118142

Published: April 1, 2025

Microplastics (MP) are pervasive environmental pollutants that have raised concerns regarding their potential health effects. However, limited studies investigated the relationship between MP exposure and depression, particularly in college students. Our study aims to examine association depressive symptoms A total of 1420 students from Jiangsu College Nursing, China, were included this cross-sectional study. Depressive assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2), was estimated based on daily airborne concentration drinking-water levels. Multivariate logistic regression models used estimate associations symptoms. The prevalence among 61.8 %. median (interquartile range) 17403.7 (14174.8-20995.9) particles/day. Airborne exhibited positive with symptoms, while no significant found Compared participants lowest quartile exposure, those highest had 38 % higher odds experiencing (odds ratio [OR] = 1.38, 95 CI: 1.21-1.57).

Drinking Water Network as a Potential Pathway for Micro- and Nanoplastics Exposure to Human: A Mini Review

Water, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(8), P. 1188 - 1188

Published: April 15, 2025

The risk of human exposure to micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) has received increasing attention in recent years. Consumption drinking water is a significant route MNPs. While previous studies focus on MNPs treated wastewater or final effluent, research addressing networks (DWNs) as potential secondary sources remains sparse. However, how DWN, critical component transporting from treatment plants consumers, contributes contamination underexplored existing studies. We extracted keywords reviewed literature using bibliometric methods conducted correlation analyses, revealing four clusters: baseline detection, health assessments, nanoplastic, treatment. abundance DWN ranged 0.01 1.4 items/L. varied between 679.5 4.5 × 107 items/kg when calculated based sample mass (in scales debris). Based the shape polymer composition MNPs, strongly suspected contribute tap water. also main mechanisms for formation release pipelines, including mechanical forces, hammer effects, chemical aging. Our review highlighted current gaps MNP DWN. It will understanding contribution provide framework future monitoring efforts.

Are Microplastics a Macro Issue? A Review on the Sources of Contamination, Analytical Challenges and Impact on Human Health of Microplastics in Food

Foods, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12(21), P. 3915 - 3915

Published: Oct. 25, 2023

In recent years, human populations’ exposure to microplastics via foods is becoming a topic of concern. Although have been defined as “emerging contaminants”, their occurrence in the environment and food quite dated. This systematic review aims investigate discrepancies which are characterizing research field foods, with particular regard sample preparations, microplastics’ concentrations effect on humans. For selection papers, PRISMA methodology was followed. Discrepancies methodological approaches emerged expression results well, underlying urgency harmonization approaches. Uncertainties still present regarding adverse effects body. The scientific evidence obtained thus far is, fact, not sufficient demonstrate concrete negative effect. has clearly underlined need standardise laboratory obtain useful for better safety management.
