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. Lab studies, including

Microplastics in the urban atmosphere: Sources, occurrences, distribution, and potential health implications

Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 12, С. 100346 - 100346

Опубликована: Июль 20, 2023

Urbanization itself is a major and furthermost imperative contributor to the release of microplastics into environments. As cities grow develop, more plastic products are consumed discarded, resulting in increased pollution levels. Although researches on airborne (AMPs) urban regions scare, recent findings have shown high concentration them air residential areas. Textiles main source indoor ambiance, while traffic-related particles, textiles agricultural marine appear be responsible for polluting cities' outdoor atmosphere. Local metrological situation, topography physical features particles control behavior, distribution fate microplastics. Inhalation primary exposure route may induce toxicity respiratory tract. Understanding these factors crucial developing effective strategies mitigate their impact human health environment. Current work reviews published literature settings aiming at characterizing parent's materials, potential sources both spaces, possible impacts along with some further suggestions.

Microplastics in indoor deposition samples in university classrooms

Discover Environment, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 2(1)

Опубликована: Март 18, 2024

Abstract The pollution caused by microplastics (MPs) is a growing concern on global scale, especially considering the significant proportion of time that individuals spend indoors. contamination in question has potential to directly impact human population through exposure indoor dust and air. This research undertook comprehensive analysis deposition MPs university classrooms, employing various investigative tools. present study aimed comprehensively analyze physical chemical properties found classrooms. Analyzing samples under stereomicroscope, predominant were identified as fibers varied colors, mainly attributed clothing. Sizes these significantly across different with general average size range 120–2222 µm. observed morphological changes MPs, including cracks grooves, hint at degradation into nanosized plastics over time. observation raises concerns about increased concentrations nanoplastics environments. Using µRaman analysis, eleven types identified, potentially originating from clothing, shoes, stationery. majority polyamide 6, polypropylene, 12. scanning electron microscope energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDX) technique unveiled elemental composition carbon, fluorine, oxygen being dominant. findings align past studies but highlight need understand MPs' structural components any possible contaminants. Compared existing literature, this adopts methodological approach combining optical microscopy, µRaman, SEM–EDX, enriching knowledge MP aiding future directions.
