Microplastics in Seafood and the Implications for Human Health

Current Environmental Health Reports, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 5(3), P. 375 - 386

We describe evidence regarding human exposure to microplastics via seafood and discuss potential health effects. Shellfish other animals consumed whole pose particular concern for exposure. If there is toxicity, it likely dependent on dose, polymer type, size, surface chemistry, hydrophobicity. Human activity has led microplastic contamination throughout the marine environment. As a result of widespread contamination, are ingested by many species wildlife including fish shellfish. Because associated with chemicals from manufacturing that sorb surrounding environment, physical chemical toxicity. Evidence toxicity epidemiology emerging. characterize current knowledge highlight gaps. also recommend mitigation adaptation strategies targeting life cycle future research assess impacts humans. Addressing these gaps critical priority due nutritional importance consumption.

Evidence of microplastic accumulation in agricultural soils from sewage sludge disposal

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 671, P. 411 - 420

Published: March 24, 2019

Microplastics are emerging as a steadily increasing environmental threat. Wastewater treatment plants efficiently remove microplastics from sewage, trapping the particles in sludge and preventing their entrance into aquatic environments. Treatment essentially taking out of waste water concentrating them sludge, however. It has become common practice to use this on agricultural soils fertilizer. The aim current research was evaluate microplastic contamination by practice, assessing implications successive applications looking at total count soil samples. Thirty-one fields with different application records similar edaphoclimatic conditions were evaluated. Field covered ten year period. For all fields, historical disposal events used same amount (40 ton ha-1 dry weight). Extraction done flotation then counted classified help microscope. Seven samples collected that underwent during study Soils where 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 had been performed median 1.1, 1.6, 1.7, 2.3, 3.5 g-1 soil, respectively. There statistical differences contents related number field undergone (1, 3 < 5). Microplastic content ranged 18 41 g-1, 34 g-1. majority observed fibers (90% 97% soil). Our results indicate counts increase over time performed. stress relevance driver contamination.
