The presence of microplastics (MPs) in human fluids and organs is a great concern, since, as highlighted by recent studies on animal models, they could cause alterations several physiological functions, including reproduction. In this study, semen samples collected from men living polluted area the Campania Region (Southern Italy), were analyzed to assess MPs. N. 16 pigmented microplastic fragments (ranging 2 6 μm size) with spheric or irregular shapes found six out ten samples. All detected MPs characterized terms morphology (size, colour, shape) chemical composition Raman Microspectroscopy. Chemical showed polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), polyvinylchloride (PVC), polycarbonate (PC), polyoxymethylene (POM) acrylic, suggesting ingestion and/or inhalation route exposure environmental work, we propose for first time mechanism which pass into most likely through epididymis seminal vesicles, are susceptible inflammation.

The increasing global attention on micro(nano)plastics (MNPs) is a result of their ubiquity in the water, air, soil, and biosphere, exposing humans to MNPs daily basis threatening human health. However, crucial data body, including sources, occurrences, behaviors, health risks, are limited, which greatly impedes any systematic assessment impact body. To further understand effects we must identify existing knowledge gaps that need be immediately addressed provide potential solutions these issues. Herein, examined current literature behaviors body as well risks. Furthermore, identified key resolved comprehensively assess Additionally, complexity lack efficient analytical methods main barriers impeding investigations necessitating development standard unified method. Finally, highlighted for interdisciplinary studies from environmental, biological, medical, chemical, computer, material scientists fill drive research. Considering inevitability occurrence exposure MNPs, more urgently required enhance our understanding negative

Abstract The limited available data on human internal exposure poses a significant challenge in assessing the risks associated with micro and nanoplastics (MNPs) to health. A contributing factor this is scarcity of sensitive analytical methods quantify mass concentration plastic polymers blood. In study we present an improved validated method for quantitatively analysing polyethylene (PE), terephthalate (PET), poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polypropylene, polystyrene whole blood samples. We introduce apply stringent quality assurance control procedures, including validation using samples continuous monitoring batch analyses ensure reliability. Expanding upon prior pioneering work by Leslie et al. (2022), optimised pyrolysis-gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) conditions enhance sensitivity selectivity. Recovery experiments demonstrated high level accuracy precision, values ranging from 68 109% Applying ( n = 68), identified 64 samples, PE as predominant polymer, followed PVC, PET, PMMA. 17 polymer concentrations were found exceed limit quantitation, mean 1070 ng/mL summed concentrations, between 170 2490 ng/mL. sum across all 68) was 268 These findings underscore pressing need further research aimed at comprehensive MNP quantification matrices, considering potential health implications.

Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles (<5 mm) ubiquitous in water, soil, and air, indicating that humans can be exposed to MPs through ingestion of water food, inhalation.This review provides an overview the current human biomonitoring data available evaluate exposure health impact MPs.We compiled 91 relevant studies on matrices toxicological endpoints provide evidence distribution different tissues implications this have from a perspective.Human has been corroborated by detection biological samples including blood, urine, stool, lung tissue, breast milk, semen placenta. Although clearance mechanisms protecting them potentially harmful substances, risks associated include onset inflammation, oxidative stress, DNA damage, leading cardiovascular respiratory diseases, as well cancer, suggested vitro vivo studies.Based data, recurrently identified fluids, suggesting inhalation ingestion. Despite differences concentrations appear non-exposed people, accumulation pathways potential hazards is still at infant stage. Human enables assessment risks, information contribute draw management actions guidelines minimize MP release environment, thus, reduce uptake.
