BackgroundMicroplastic (MP) pollution has emerged as a significant environmental concern worldwide. While extensive research focused on their presence in marine organisms and ecosystems, potential impact human health, particularly the circulatory system, remains understudied. This project aimed to identify quantify mass concentrations, polymer types, physical properties of MPs thrombi surgically retrieved from both arterial venous systems at three anatomically distinct sites, namely, cerebral arteries brain, coronary heart, deep veins lower extremities. Furthermore, this study investigate association between levels disease severity.MethodsThrombus samples were collected 30 patients who underwent thrombectomy procedures due ischaemic stroke (IS), myocardial infarction (MI), or vein thrombosis (DVT). Pyrolysis–gas chromatography spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) was employed concentrations MPs. Laser direct infrared (LDIR) spectroscopy scanning electron microscopy (SEM) used analyse Demographic clinical information also examined. A rigorous quality control system eliminate contamination.FindingsMPs detected by Py-GC/MS 80% (24/30) obtained with IS, MI, DVT, median 61.75 μg/g, 141.80 69.62 respectively. Among 10 target types MP polymers, polyamide 66 (PA66), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE) identified. Further analyses suggested that higher may be associated greater severity (adjusted β = 7.72, 95% CI: 2.01–13.43, p < 0.05). The level D-dimer MP-detected group significantly than MP-undetected (8.3 ± 1.5 μg/L vs 6.6 0.5 μg/L, 0.001). Additionally, LDIR analysis showed PE dominant among 15 identified MPs, accounting for 53.6% all mean diameter 35.6 μm. shapes polymers using SEM found heterogeneous.InterpretationThis presents qualitative quantitative evidence thrombotic diseases through use multimodal detection methods. Higher increased severity. Future larger sample size is urgently needed sources exposure validate observed trends study.FundingThis funded SUMC Scientific Research Initiation Grant (SRIG, No. 009-510858038), Postdoctoral (No. 202205230031-3), 2020 Li Ka Shing Foundation Cross-Disciplinary 2020LKSFG02C).

Abstract Hazards to human and planetary health are present at every stage of the plastic life cycle, yet production is projected triple by 2060. This review focuses on three key areas: cycle plastic, impact microplastics their associated chemicals, along with recommendations reduce use. In dermatology, micro‐ nanoplastics especially problematic as they in over 90% personal care products. They have been detected utero, absorbed through skin found lungs gastrointestinal tract. Numerous vitro animal studies substantiated negative but gaps remain regards effect health. spite this limitation, we evidence date offer evidence‐based which can production, enhance outcomes promote environmental justice.

Micro/Nano plastics (MNPs) pollutants are widespread in the environment, raising significant concerns about their biosafety. Emerging studies indicate that urinary system is a primary accumulation site for MNPs, leading to severe tissue and functional damage. This review aims summarize recent research on potential hazards MNPs may pose system, highlighting mechanisms of toxicity current state knowledge. Studies have shown enter human body through drinking water, food chain, inhalation, skin contact. They penetrate bloodstream via digestive, respiratory, systems, subsequently dispersing various organs, including system. The might induce cellular oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, "intestine-kidney axis", other possible toxic mechanisms. These processes could disrupt kidney metabolic functions promote fibrosis, thereby potentially increasing risk diseases. Despite ongoing research, understanding MNPs' impact remains limited. Therefore, this provides comprehensive overview highlights key challenges, outlines future directions. It offers theoretical basis development effective protective measures policies.
