Microplastics have been detected in human stool, lungs, and placentas, which direct exposure to the external environment through various body cavities, including oral/anal cavity uterine/vaginal cavity. Crucial data on microplastic completely enclosed organs are still lacking. Herein, we used a laser infrared chemical imaging system scanning electron microscopy investigate whether microplastics exist heart its surrounding tissues. Microplastic specimens were collected from 15 cardiac surgery patients, 6 pericardia, epicardial adipose tissues, 11 pericardial 3 myocardia, 5 left atrial appendages, 7 pairs of pre- postoperative venous blood samples. not universally present all tissue samples, but nine types found across five with largest measuring 469 μm diameter. Nine also samples maximum diameter 184 μm, type distribution showed alterations following surgical procedure. Moreover, presence poly(methyl methacrylate) appendage, tissue, cannot be attributed accidental during surgery, providing evidence patients undergoing surgery. Further research is needed examine impact introduction potential effects internal health.

Potential Health Impact of Microplastics: A Review of Environmental Distribution, Human Exposure, and Toxic Effects

Environment & Health, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 1(4), С. 249 - 257

Опубликована: Авг. 10, 2023

Microplastics are ubiquitous in the global environment. As a typical emerging pollutant, its potential health hazards have been widely concerning. In this brief paper, we introduce source, identification, toxicity, and hazard of microplastics human. The literature review shows that frequently detected environmental human samples. Humans potentially exposed to through oral intake, inhalation, skin contact. We summarize toxic effects experimental models like cells, organoids, animals. These consist oxidative stress, DNA damage, organ dysfunction, metabolic disorder, immune response, neurotoxicity, as well reproductive developmental toxicity. addition, epidemiological evidence suggests variety chronic diseases may be related exposure. Finally, put forward gaps toxicity research their future development directions. This will helpful understanding exposure risk microplastics.

From oceans to dinner plates: The impact of microplastics on human health

Heliyon, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 9(10), С. e20440 - e20440

Опубликована: Сен. 26, 2023

Microplastics, measuring less than 5 mm in diameter, are now found various environmental media, including soil, water, and air, have infiltrated the food chain, ultimately becoming a part of human diet. This study offers comprehensive examination intricate nexus between microplastics health, thereby contributing to existing knowledge on subject. Sources microplastics, microfibers from textiles, personal care products, wastewater treatment plants, among others, were assessed. The meticulously examined diverse routes microplastic exposure—ingestion, inhalation, dermal contact—offering insights into associated health risks. Notably, ingestion has been linked gastrointestinal disturbances, endocrine disruption, potential transmission pathogenic bacteria. Inhalation airborne emerges as critical concern, with possible implications for respiratory cardiovascular health. Dermal contact, although explored, raises prospect skin irritation allergic reactions. impacts COVID-19 pollution also highlighted. Throughout manuscript, need deeper mechanistic understanding interactions systems is emphasized, underscoring urgency further research public awareness.

Prenatal and postnatal exposure to polystyrene microplastics induces testis developmental disorder and affects male fertility in mice

Journal of Hazardous Materials, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 445, С. 130544 - 130544

Опубликована: Дек. 5, 2022

Polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) can threaten human health, especially male fertility. However, most existing studies have focused on the adulthood stage of reproduction toxicity caused by relatively short-term PS-MP exposure. This study aimed to investigate toxic effect PS-MPs testicular development and reproductive function upon prenatal postnatal Pregnant mice their offspring were exposed 0, 0.5 mg/L, 5 50 mg/L through daily drinking water from gestational day 1 (PND) 35 or PND70. We found that exposure induced testis disorder PND35 spermatogenesis dysfunction By combining RNA sequencing results bioinformatics analysis, hormone-mediated signaling pathway, G1/S transition mitotic cell cycle, coregulation androgen receptor activity, Hippo pathway shown be involved in PND35.

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.
