Microplastics have been detected in various human organs, and studies on their impact health are ongoing. However, few researched microplastics the cervicovaginal area. In this study, we aimed to assess presence lavage fluid. This prospective study was conducted at a single tertiary medical center, enrolling 10 participants aged 27–49 years. Human fluid samples were collected from patients by skilled obstetrician. Raman spectroscopy used analyze characterize microplastic particles samples.

Effect of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances on neurodevelopment: Evidence-based risk assessment in the TRAEC strategy context

Environment International, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 109003 - 109003

Although emerging evidence on the association between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) neurodevelopment have been investigated, there is no consensus effect of maternal PFASs in offspring. Here, we assessed risk exposure offspring using a novel Targeted Risk Assessment Environmental Chemicals (TRAEC) strategy based multiple evidence. The from five online databases were analyzed neurodevelopment. potential was evaluated by TRAEC strategy, which conducted comprehensive scoring system with reliability, correlation, outcome fitness integrity. studies additional researchers' experiments included present study to proceed following assessment. Based framework evaluation health risks classified as low (absolute value 0-4), medium 4-8), high 8-10). In study, medium-risk level 5.61 overall risk-score. population-attributable (PAR) 8.26 % for exposure. identified low-risk prenatal ASD behavioral disabilities. chain length, type neurodevelopmental trajectories contributed Consistent results four criteria-based tools (ToxRTool, SciRAP, OHAT IRIS), assessment demonstrated robustness reliability study.
