Humans cannot avoid plastic exposure due to its ubiquitous presence in the natural environment. The waste generated is poorly biodegradable and exists form of MPs, which can enter human body primarily through digestive tract, respiratory or damaged skin accumulate various tissues by crossing biological membrane barriers. There an increasing amount research on health effects MPs. Most literature reports focus impact plastics respiratory, digestive, reproductive, hormonal, nervous, immune systems, as well metabolic MPs accumulation leading epidemics obesity, diabetes, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. xenobiotics, undergo ADMET processes body, i.e., absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, are not fully understood. Of particular concern carcinogenic chemicals added during manufacturing adsorbed from environment, such chlorinated paraffins, phthalates, phenols, bisphenols, be released when absorbed body. continuous increase NMP has accelerated SARS-CoV-2 pandemic there was a need use single-use products daily life. Therefore, urgent diagnose problems related MP detection.

The potential health implications of environmental micro/nanoplastics (MNPLs) are increasingly concerning. Beyond exposure, other sources such as food packaging, including herbal/teabags, may also be significant. This study investigates the release MNPLs from three commercially available teabags. By simulating tea preparation, MNPL samples were extracted and characterized using a range analytical techniques: scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), attenuated total reflectance/Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). results confirmed that teabags made nylon-6 (NY6), polypropylene (PP), cellulose (CL) microfibers nano-range particles (NPLs) present in leachates. NTA data revealed number released NPLs was 1.20 × 10

Rapid quantification of plastic contaminants, particularly microplastics (MPs), in foods is a challenge. This study introduces novel method using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy coupled with thermogravimetric (TGA-FTIR) and chemometric analysis for the MPs foods. A model was performed polystyrene (PS) (1 μm) added to various foods, namely, water, milk, coffee without any pretreatment. Foods were spiked PS microbeads at different concentrations, heated TGA, FTIR spectra gases evolved from TGA collected over time. The spectral data used construct Gram-Schmidt profile identify characteristic peak. spectrum corresponding peak maxima extracted represent specific concentration. dataset selected their associated concentrations preprocessed prior calibration cross-validation PLS regression models, each food matrix studied. results showed that models reliably predicted content R

Analysis of microplastic (MP) occurrence in commercially relevant species is a prerequisite for food risk assessment. Using standardized methodology, we aimed to investigate MP contamination point-of-sale clams, mussels, and Crustacea shellfish collected from various markets (Belgium, Croatia, Serbia, South Korea). An improved digestion protocol yielded ≥ 99.8% efficiency all analyzed. In total 190 samples analyzed individually by microFTIR, MPs were identified 43.68% the with less than 1 MP/individual average (0–4 MP/individual, 0–1.35 MPs/g tissue). Significant differences between observed when considering contaminated MPs, having lowest edible tissue. Polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene dominant found clams while polyamide, terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride most abundant shellfish. Our data do not support bioaccumulation or biomagnification size animal group. more strongly associated type geographical origin market.
