In the past decade, microplastics (MPs) have drawn significant attention as widespread environmental contaminants, with research increasingly highlighting their harmful effects on respiratory health in aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Findings revealed human lung tissues, raising concerns about potential role damaging tissue integrity contributing to pulmonary fibrosis-a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by scarring of epithelial tissues due accumulated extracellular matrix, triggered factors such alcohol, pathogens, genetic mutations, pollutants. this review, we explore both well-studied lesser-studied mechanisms signaling pathways, aiming shed light how might act mediators that activate distinct, often overlooked cascades. This review searched PubMed Google Scholar using keywords like "plastic," "microplastic," "lung fibrosis," "pulmonary system," "exposure route," "signaling pathways," combined "OR" "AND" singular plural forms. These pathways could not only induce damage but also play a development fibrosis. be targeted reduce microplastic-induced fibrosis, opening new avenues for future treatments.

Computational polarized holography for automatic monitoring of microplastics in scattering aquatic environments

APL Photonics, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 10(3)

Опубликована: Март 1, 2025

Automatic monitoring of microplastic (MP) contamination in aquatic ecosystems is crucial for effective management and mitigation strategies. However, this task presents significant challenges due to the dynamic 3D distribution MPs light scattering aqueous phase. Traditional MP detection methods are limited volumetric imaging anti-scattering capability, often requiring cumbersome manual processing analysis. In study, we develop an integrated system based on computational polarized holography, which offers unique advantages automation, multifunctionality, affordability. As demonstrated with proof-of-concept experiments, our enables accurate efficient tracking across extended volume, facilitating high-throughput addition, proposed hybrid de-scattering algorithm substantially improves image quality even when characterizing milk solutions. Furthermore, unsupervised clustering method developed identify classify different their multimodal features without need annotation. Although experiments were implemented laboratory, results demonstrate robust efficiency material-dependent sensitivity system. It opens up new opportunities on-site continuous pollution ecosystems, contributing significantly sustainable environmental management.
