From oceans to dinner plates: The impact of microplastics on human health

Heliyon, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 9(10), P. e20440 - e20440

Published: Sept. 26, 2023

Microplastics, measuring less than 5 mm in diameter, are now found various environmental media, including soil, water, and air, have infiltrated the food chain, ultimately becoming a part of human diet. This study offers comprehensive examination intricate nexus between microplastics health, thereby contributing to existing knowledge on subject. Sources microplastics, microfibers from textiles, personal care products, wastewater treatment plants, among others, were assessed. The meticulously examined diverse routes microplastic exposure—ingestion, inhalation, dermal contact—offering insights into associated health risks. Notably, ingestion has been linked gastrointestinal disturbances, endocrine disruption, potential transmission pathogenic bacteria. Inhalation airborne emerges as critical concern, with possible implications for respiratory cardiovascular health. Dermal contact, although explored, raises prospect skin irritation allergic reactions. impacts COVID-19 pollution also highlighted. Throughout manuscript, need deeper mechanistic understanding interactions systems is emphasized, underscoring urgency further research public awareness.

Modern society has increasingly a diffusion of pollutants and emerging contaminants (e.g., different types chemicals endocrine disruptors in pharmaceuticals, pesticides, household cleaning, personal care products, etc.) that have detrimental effects on the environment (atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere anthroposphere) also generate diseases disorders people health. Environmental science requires efforts detection elimination manifold with appropriate product process technologies. This study aims to analyze paths treatment technologies investigate their evolution predict new directions promising technological trajectories support removal directed reach, whenever possible, sustainable development objectives. The work is mainly devoted wastewater A proposed model analyzes patents (proxy innovation technology) publications knowledge advances) quantify relative growth rate remove contaminants. Results reveal having an accelerated are (in decreasing order): biochar reverse osmosis physical-based technologies, coagulation, disinfection water treatments chemical-based anaerobic processes biological-based Other main such as carbon nanotubes advanced oxidation processes, seem be initial phase need learning by using further technology advances implemented effective cost-effective methods. results here show similar trends global market revenue These findings bring us information extend about for and/or microorganisms order decisions policymakers towards goals reducing environmental degradation health disorders.

Current perspective of advanced electrochemical oxidation processes in wastewater treatment and life cycle analysis

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 19(7), P. 100589 - 100589

Published: April 25, 2024

The water crisis is one of the most alarming problems this century. Thus, strategies are being sought not only to manage use, but also reuse it through efficient treatments that make possible achieve a circular economy. In sense, Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation Processes (EAOPs) have been shown produce with quality necessary for its reuse. application EAOPs in treatment plants current needs, so research efforts focused on scaling them up an industrial level. these processes limited, mainly due energy consumption; however, by means optimal conditions and designs, different studies can be successful compete conventional treatments. This work compiles applications treat real wastewater, where removal efficiencies, operating their consumption or operational cost indicated. Advantages, disadvantages, future challenges needs presented. An analysis Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) presented need standardize functional unit conduct such was concluded.
