Sources, Degradation, Ingestion and Effects of Microplastics on Humans: A Review

Toxics, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 11(9), P. 747 - 747

Published: Sept. 1, 2023

Celluloid, the predecessor to plastic, was synthesized in 1869, and due technological advancements, plastic products appear be ubiquitous daily life. The massive production, rampant usage, inadequate disposal of have led severe environmental pollution. Consequently, reducing employment has emerged as a pressing concern for governments globally. This review explores microplastics, including their origins, absorption, harmful effects on environment humans. Several methods exist breaking down plastics, thermal, mechanical, light, catalytic, biological processes. Despite these methods, microplastics (MPs, between 1 5 mm size) continue produced during degradation. Acknowledging significant threat that MPs pose human health is imperative. form pollution pervasive air food infiltrates our bodies through ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact. It essential assess potential hazards can introduce. There evidence suggesting may negative impacts different areas health. These include respiratory, gastrointestinal, immune, nervous, reproductive systems, liver organs, skin, even placenta placental barrier. encouraging see most countries taken steps regulate particles. measures aim reduce which today. At same time, this summarizes degradation mechanism impact health, reduction policies worldwide. provides valuable information future research regulatory development.

Micro- and nanoplastics in soil: Linking sources to damage on soil ecosystem services in life cycle assessment

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 904, P. 166925 - 166925

Soil ecosystems are crucial for providing vital ecosystem services (ES), and increasingly pressured by the intensification expansion of human activities, leading to potentially harmful consequences their related ES provision. Micro- nanoplastics (MNPs), associated with releases from various have become prevalent in soil pose a global threat. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), tool evaluating environmental performance product technology life cycles, has yet adequately include MNPs-related damage ES, owing factors like uncertainties MNPs fate ecotoxicological effects, characterizing on species loss, functional diversity, ES. This study aims address this gap as first step an overview current understanding proposing conceptual approach link impacts damage. We find that pervade worldwide, introduced through pathways, including wastewater discharge, urban runoff, atmospheric deposition, degradation larger plastic debris. can inflict range ecotoxicity effects species, physical harm, chemical toxicity, pollutants bioaccumulation. Methods translate these into under development typically focus discrete, not fully integrated aspects along impact-to-damage pathway. propose framework linking different organisms diversity loss elaborate each link.

Microplastic in Australian processed organics: Abundance, characteristics and potential transport to soil ecosystem

Journal of Environmental Management, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 375, P. 124359 - 124359

Published: Feb. 1, 2025

The extensive use and application of recycled organics, including biosolids compost, has been considered as an effective waste management approach to reduce landfills. However, concerns have raised about the presence microplastics (MPs) in these organics their subsequent transfer soils. Although MPs widely documented, our knowledge occurrence characteristics processed organic such compost is still limited. present study aimed investigate abundance, potential sources (>25 μm) samples collected across eleven sites with different processing systems Australia. This includes digestate from anaerobic digestion rapidly dehydrated food waste. MPs, mainly polyethylene, polypropylene polyester, were found all concentrations ranging 1500 16,000 MP/kg dry weight. majority fell within smaller size range 25-500 μm. Using concentration (size range, morphology, density) detected mass abundance was estimated be between 7 760 mg/kg We also that 5.2 × 1010 6.2 1012 MP/year could transferred land via findings this showed compostable bags a source some samples. provides first evidence Australia emphasises need more comprehensively understand fate during composting processes, contribution soil MP contamination, impacts on biota.
