Microplastic (MP) in seafood is a growing area of food safety. In the present study, MP contamination commercially important crab Portunus sanguinolentus was assessed. A total 300 specimens were collected from three principal fishing harbors Gujarat. The analyzed for MPs isolation using previously published protocol. dissected, and organs such as gut gills placed separately beaker. organic tissues digested 10% KOH. After digestion, flotation filtration processes carried out extraction MPs. physical (shape, size, color) chemical characterization performed. average abundance recorded 0.67 ± 0.62 MPs/g. pollution indices revealed very high fell under class IV (Jakhau) V risk categories (Okha Veraval). Microfibers found dominantly. Blue black-colored with 1–2 mm sizes Polyethylene, polyethylene tetraphene, polyurethane, polystyrene, polypropylene identified polymer compositions Concludingly, study gives an insight into species P. , which can be useful to design further investigations on toxicity seafood.

Abstract Plastic production has greatly increased in the past decades and become central to modern human life. Realization is dawning that plastics break down into smaller pieces resulting micro- or nanoplastics (MNP) can enter humans directly via environment. Indeed, MNP have been detected every part of body, including placenta, which concerning for development. Early developmental stages are crucial proper growth genome programming. Environmental disruptors detrimental effects during this critical window as well increase risk developing disease dysfunction. In addition, may impact situations pathways reactivated after birth such organ repair. Currently, there no overview how impair (human) development Therefore, we provide an extensive available evidence on impacting regenerative processes various organs rodent models. included some additives leach from these MNP. We conclude their modulating regenerating organs.

A systematic review of microplastics emissions in kitchens: Understanding the links with diseases in daily life

Environment International, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 188, С. 108740 - 108740

The intensification of microplastics (MPs) pollution has emerged as a formidable environmental challenge, with profound global implications. pervasive presence MPs across multitude mediums, such the atmosphere, soil, and oceans, extends to commonplace items, culminating in widespread human ingestion accumulation via channels like food, water, air. In domestic realm, kitchens have become significant epicenters for pollution. A plethora kitchen utensils, encompassing coated non-stick pans, plastic cutting boards, disposable are known release substantial quantities particles everyday use, which can then be ingested alongside food. This paper conducts thorough examination contemporary research addressing from utensils during usage focuses on health risks associated ingestion, well myriad factors influencing utensils. Leveraging insights derived this analysis, proposes series strategic recommendations measures targeted at mitigating production settings. These initiatives designed not solely diminish but also enhance public awareness regarding pressing concern. By adopting more informed practices kitchens, we significantly contribute reduction burden pollution, thus safeguarding both ecological system.
