The ubiquitous presence of nanoplastics (NPLs) in the environment is considered great health concern. Due to their size, NPLs can cross both intestinal and pulmonary barriers and, consequently, blood compartment expected. Understanding interactions between human components required. In this study, simulate more adequate real exposure conditions, whole healthy donors was exposed five different NPLs: three polystyrene approximately 50 nm (aminated PS-NH

There is a growing concern within the medical community about potential burden of microplastics on human organs and tissues. In this study, we investigated by microRaman spectroscopy presence in kidneys urine. Moreover, an open-access software was developed validated for project, which enabled comparison between spectra self-created spectral database, thus enhancing ability to characterize polymers pigments biological matrices. Healthy portions ten obtained from nephrectomies, as well urine samples healthy donors were analyzed: 26 particles both kidney identified, with sizes ranging 3 13 μm 1 29 kidneys. The most frequently determined are polyethylene polystyrene, while common hematite Cu-phthalocyanine. This preclinical study proves renal tissues confirms their urine, providing first evidence deposition humans.
