Microplastics as vectors for contaminants in the environment is becoming a topic of public interest. have been found to actively adsorb heavy metals, per-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) polybrominated diethers (PBDs) onto their surface. Particular interest microplastics capacity antibiotics needs further attention due potential role this interaction plays on antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic sorption experiments documented literature, but data has not yet critically reviewed. This review aims comprehensively assess factors that affect microplastics. It recognised physico- chemical properties polymers, properties, solution all play crucial Weathering was increase by up 171%. An salinity decrease microplastics, some instances 100%. pH also substantial effect capacity, illustrating significance electrostatic interactions The need uniform experimental design when testing highlighted remove inconsistencies currently presented. Current literature examines link between resistance, however, studies are still required fully understand emerging global crisis.

Toxic Chemicals and Persistent Organic Pollutants Associated with Micro-and Nanoplastics Pollution

Chemical Engineering Journal Advances, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 11, С. 100310 - 100310

The prevalence of micro and nanoplastics (MNPs) across the various environments their negative impact on ecosystems have become a serious global threat are currently subject many environmental concerns. Studies provided evidence that MNPs potential to leach toxic plastic chemical additives can adsorb variety persistent organic pollutants, thereby enhancing bioavailability, toxicity, dispersion. Moreover, these easily penetrate food chain might cause health problems when ingested by humans other organisms. Currently, there is complexity in understanding mechanisms which chemicals adsorb/desorb onto/from MNPs, physical biological impacts additives. To date, considerable lack knowledge major concern used industry, fate once dispose into environment, factors affect degradation, consequent human health. This review critically analyzes current concerning physical, chemical, pollutants associated with MNPs. Emphasis was laid types, occurrence, fate, distribution environment. different techniques identification, characterization, removal were also elucidated. Furthermore, harmful effects discussed spur more future studies fill gaps this area.

Overview on the occurrence of microplastics in air and implications from the use of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic

The Science of The Total Environment, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 800, С. 149555 - 149555

Environmental pollution from microplastics (MPs) in air is a matter of growing concern because human health implications. Airborne MPs can be directly and continuously inhaled environments. Especially high contributions found indoor due to the erosion breakage consumer, domestic construction products, although there little information available on their sources concentrations risks they might pose. This part fact that sampling analysis airborne complex multistep procedure where techniques used are not yet standardized. In this study, we provide an overview presence air, potential impacts, methods for detection implications use face masks during COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods and challenges in the detection of microplastics and nanoplastics: a mini‐review

Polymer International, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 71(5), С. 543 - 551

Опубликована: Дек. 10, 2021

Abstract Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) constitute a newly recognized class of contaminants emerging concern in air, soil, water food, causing unavoidable exposure to humans animals. Detection, identification quantification MPs NPs environmental matrices biota is challenging due the analytes' small size, random morphology, polymeric diversity, applied coatings vast surface areas which attract chemical microbial sorbates. This mini‐review explores strengths weaknesses analytical methods commonly used for MP NP quantification, including stereomicroscopy, SEM, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman flow cytometry mass spectrometry techniques matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight, pyrolysis gas chromatography–mass liquid chromatography–tandem spectrometry. Analytical challenges involved precise MP/NP detection have been identified recommendations provided ensure data quality addressing common concerns, difficulty obtaining irrefutable proof that detected polymers originated from sample as opposed contamination during acquisition, processing analysis. © 2021 The Authors.

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.

A Children’s Health Perspective on Nano- and Microplastics

Pregnancy, infancy, and childhood are sensitive windows for environmental exposures. Yet the health effects of exposure to nano- microplastics (NMPs) remain largely uninvestigated or unknown. Although plastic chemicals a well-established research topic, impacts particles unexplored, especially with regard early life exposures.This commentary aims summarize knowns unknowns around child- pregnancy-relevant exposures NMPs via inhalation, placental transfer, ingestion breastmilk, dermal absorption.A comprehensive literature search map state science on found 37 primary articles relevance during revealed major knowledge gaps in field. We discuss opportunities challenges quantifying child-specific (e.g., breastmilk infant formula) effects, light global inequalities baby bottle use, consumption packaged foods, air pollution, hazardous disposal, regulatory safeguards. also needs linking child NMP address context public action.Few studies have addressed sources exposure, estimates currently rely generic assumptions rather than empirical measurements. Furthermore, toxicological has not specifically focused health, yet children's immature defense mechanisms make them particularly vulnerable. Apart from few investigating transfer NMPs, physicochemical properties polymer, size, shape, charge) driving absorption, biodistribution, elimination be benchmarked. Accordingly, evidence base regarding potential remains sparse.

Polystyrene micro and nano-particles induce metabolic rewiring in normal human colon cells: A risk factor for human health

Chemosphere, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 303, С. 134947 - 134947

Опубликована: Май 14, 2022

Polystyrene is a thermoplastic polymer widely used in commercial products. Like all plastics, polystyrene can be degraded into microplastic and nanoplastic particles ingested via food chain contamination. Although the ecological impact due to plastic contamination well known, there are no studies indicating carcinogenic potential of microplastics (MPs) nanoplastics (NPs). Here, we evaluated effects MPs NPs on normal human intestinal CCD-18Co cells. Our results show that internalization induces metabolic changes under both acute chronic exposure by inducing oxidative stress, increasing glycolysis lactate sustain energy metabolism glutamine anabolic processes. We also this decoupling nutrients mirrors effect potent agent azoxymethane HCT15 colon cancer cells, carrying out typical strategy cells optimize utilization allowing adaptation environmental stress conditions. Taken together our data provide new evidence could act as risk factor for health.
