Comparative microplastic (MP) data for cephalopods between oceans is scarce. Our aim was to quantify, characterise, and compare MPs in gills, digestive gland, mantle of chokka squid from the South Atlantic Ocean (SAO) Indian (IO) off coast Africa. African had more compared with other studies (means = 2.0 0.4 SAO IO mantle, respectively). Blue fibres were dominant. Identifiable polyethylene. Despite water having higher MP concentrations than SAO, concentrations. Dilution by growth likely reason lower Fibres shorter squid. However, we could not explain why fibre lengths both positively correlated. Squid may be best indicator marine MPs. The characteristics can used track stocks migrations.

Aggregation of human α-synuclein protein is regarded to be a key stage in the etiology Parkinson's disease and numerous other neurodegenerative illnesses. Microplastics pollution can potential agent promote various disorders. In this study, we have employed multispectroscopic analytical methods investigate binding interactions between polyethylene (PE-MPs), polyvinyl chloride (PVC-MPs), polystyrene (PS-MPs) microplastics, protein. Spectroscopic investigations using UV-vis absorption, circular dichroism, Fourier transform infrared indicated different alterations protein's secondary structures induced by formation protein-MP complex. This study suggests that PS-MPs are found most effective microplastic amyloidogenic oligomer emergence because their tiny size (100 nm).

Microplastic contamination poses a growing threat to marine ecosystems and human health, with impacts observed across all trophic levels. This study reviews 16 empirical articles extract data on the chemical composition morphological features of microplastic particles found in organisms. The analysis focuses herbivorous, omnivorous, carnivorous taxa, emphasizing polymer diversity accumulation patterns. Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were most commonly detected polymers levels, fiber as dominant form. Polymer tended increase higher suggesting potential bioaccumulation. color shape further varied species, blue black fibers being frequent. findings underline need for consistent reporting reinforce importance integrating monitoring strategies.
