In recent years, there has been mounting concern about the bearing of microplastics on human health and comprehensive natural environment. These particles come from a variety sources, such as soaps, personal care products, rundown bigger plastic items. The impacts marine life other ecosystems are substantial, including ingestion by animals, interference with their reproductive systems, even death. economic implications also significant, industries, fishing tourism being affected presence in Exposure to can pose potential risks humans, respiratory digestive problems, well disrupt sleep, contribute obesity, increase risk diabetes. To address this issue, policies initiatives have put place reduce microplastic pollution, but challenges that need be overcome, lack awareness, limited resources, ineffective regulations. Further research is needed fully understand our develop effective strategies mitigate problem. article, we discussed requirement multifaceted approach reducing use, promoting proper disposal recycling waste, developing innovative technologies for capturing removing environment, raising public implementing regulations policies. It only through concerted efforts collaboration between individuals, governments threat tackled.

Microplastic accumulation in various bird species in Turkey

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 44(2), С. 386 - 396

Опубликована: Янв. 6, 2025

Abstract Plastic pollution constitutes one of the major environmental problems our time, and in recent years, it has emerged as a significant threat to environment various organisms, including bird species. In this context, study, which provides first data Türkiye, aimed determine level microplastic (MP) 12 species (Eurasian buzzard; short-toed snake-eagle; white stork; northern long-eared owl; common barn-owl; ruddy shelduck; Eurasian eagle-owl; scarlet macaw; pheasant; Indian peafowl; kestrel; gray parrot). The results indicate that MPs were detected 50% specimens (n = 20), with an average MP/item per individual. With three individual, snake-eagle was found be highest MP accumulation. Fibers (range: 51–534 µm) most type plastic gastrointestinal tract birds, ethylene vinyl acetate navy blue being polymer color, respectively. It also abundance increased weight specimens, contributing hypothesis there is correlation between size/weight animals levels These findings highlight impact on birdlife need for further monitoring assess ecological pollution.

Detection and quantification of various microplastics in human endometrium based on laser direct infrared spectroscopy

The Science of The Total Environment, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 906, С. 167760 - 167760

Опубликована: Окт. 11, 2023

The pollution of microplastics (MPs) has received widespread attention with the increasing usage plastics in recent years. MPs could enter human body and exist circulatory system. Endometrium, rich blood vessels, acts as an essential role health female fertility. However, there is no study reporting exposure endometrium. We collected endometrium samples to detect presence qualitatively quantitatively via laser direct infrared. found that was a total 13 types existing samples, among which 6 special were both high abundance detection rate. these ranged from 0 117 particles/100 mg, median 21 mg. Most detected MPs, accounting for 88.35 %, small size (20-100 μm). Among small-size ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer ranked first while polyethylene accounted largest proportion large-size (100-500 Correlation analysis indicated significant relationship between age MP or BMI abundance. also designed questionnaire investigate lifestyle daily habits, aiming at revealing potential living habits. discovered some drinking habits chewing gum significantly correlated higher level exposure. For time, we identified clarified connections lifestyle. Further studies are still necessary explore more underlying information.

Microplastic (MPs) pollution is a current global concern that affecting all environmental compartments and food sources. In this work, anthropogenic particles occurrence (MPs natural synthetic cellulosic particles), have been determined in 73 beverages packed different containers. Overall, 1521 were found, being the lowest water samples (7.2 ± 10.1 items·L
