A systematic review of the impacts of exposure to micro- and nano-plastics on human tissue accumulation and health

Eco-Environment & Health, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 2(4), С. 195 - 207

Опубликована: Авг. 21, 2023

Micro- and nano-plastics (MNPs) pollution has become a pressing global environmental issue, with growing concerns regarding its impact on human health. However, evidence the effects of MNPs health remains limited. This paper reviews three routes exposure to MNPs, which include ingestion, inhalation, dermal contact. It further discusses potential translocation in lungs, intestines, skin, analyses homeostasis organ systems, provides an outlook future research priorities for There is that are present tissues or fluids.

Microplastics (MPs) pollution and its associated toxicity raising concerns among scientists as a result of their toxicological impacts on human health the ecosystem. This study aims to investigate microplastics heavy metals (HMs) contamination in seventeen freshwater fish species collected from Southwestern region Bangladesh. extracted these using hydrogen peroxide digestion method characterized by Attenuated Total Reflection- Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). Atomic Absorption (AAS) was used determine concentration HMs different for evaluating risks. A total 142 microplastic particles were with an average 1.13 ± 0.84 items per individual fish, where highest found C. punctata (3.43 3.15 items) lowest A. mola (0.14 0.38 items). Identified dominated < 1 mm size (87.3%), black color (60.6%), fiber shape (94.4%). Polyethylene (73.08%), polypropylene (21.15%), polystyrene (5.77%) most prevalent identified polymers. positive correlation between numbers weight length. Low moderate risks microplastics.

Association of zoonotic protozoan parasites with microplastics in seawater and implications for human and wildlife health

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 12(1)

Опубликована: Апрель 26, 2022

Plastics are widely recognized as a pervasive marine pollutant. Microplastics have been garnering increasing attention due to reports documenting their ingestion by animals, including those intended for human consumption. Their accumulation in the food chain may also pose threat wildlife that consume species can accumulate microplastic particles. Microplastic contamination ecosystems has thus raised concerns both and health. Our study addresses an unexplored area of research targeting interaction between plastic pathogen pollution coastal waters. We investigated association zoonotic protozoan parasites Toxoplasma gondii, Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia enterica with polyethylene microbeads polyester microfibers. These pathogens were chosen because they World Health Organization underestimated causes illness from shellfish consumption, persistence environment. show capable associating microplastics contaminated seawater, more adhering microfiber surfaces compared microbeads. Given global presence fish shellfish, this demonstrates novel pathway which anthropogenic pollutants be mediating transmission environment, important ramifications
