Aged micro(nano)plastics (MNPs) are normally the ultimate state of plastics in environment after aging. The changes physical and chemical characteristics aged MNPs significantly influence their environmental behavior by releasing additives, forming byproducts, adsorbing contaminants. However, a systematic review is lacking on effects ecological human health regarding increasing but scattered studies results. This Review first summarizes unique methods for quantifying aging degree. Then we focused potential impacts organisms, ecosystems, health, including "Trojan horse" under real conditions. Through combining meta-analysis analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model, demonstrated that, compared to virgin MNPs, would result biomass decrease oxidative stress increase organisms lead total N/P greenhouse gas emissions ecosystems while causing cell apoptosis, antioxidant system reaction, inflammation health. Within framework risk assessment, used quotient (RQ) physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBK) models as examples illustrate importance considering degree data acquisition, model building, formula evaluation. Given risks our urgent call more understand hazards real-world environments.

Impact of Microplastics on Human Health: Risks, Diseases, and Affected Body Systems

Microplastics, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 4(2), С. 23 - 23

This review article aims to highlight the potential harm caused by microplastics (MPs) in different organs and systems underscore need for further investigation into their action mechanisms. MPs, such as polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, significantly impact human health, causing inflammation respiratory gastrointestinal systems, compromising immune function, increasing risk of cardiovascular diseases neurotoxicity. These effects are largely attributed role MPs disrupting hormonal regulation, which can lead reproductive disorders an elevated cancer. microscopic particles (less than 5 mm size) now ubiquitous air, water, food. However, much existing research on focuses mechanisms association with health disease, limited emphasis direct humans or long-term consequences. To effectively address plastic toxicity, it is crucial understand policy implications relevance disease development. Recent has highlighted more stringent regulatory oversight these materials better mitigate health.

Characteristics and influencing factors of microplastics entering human blood through intravenous injection

Environment International, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown, С. 109377 - 109377

The presence of microplastics in the human body and their potential health risks have drawn widespread attention recent years. Microplastics been detected blood, though pathways entry remain unclear. This study employed Raman spectroscopy energy dispersive to evaluate microplastic release characteristics intravenous medical devices, aiming investigate influencing factors risk entering bloodstream. results showed that were found three widely-used with abundances ranging from 0.44 2.00 items/n. Polyethylene, polypropylene (46.2 %), fragments (96.7 white (86.8 %) predominant characteristics. Factors such as brand, specifications, usage scenarios influence release, leading differences detection rates among different devices (0-100%). Repeated use significantly increases (p < 0.05). Notably, built-in filtration membranes do not completely retain may pose a shedding fibers themselves. Using exposure assessment model, estimated per person year was 3.75 items for syringe, 6.22 infusion set, 0.35 vein detained needle. Overall, although amount through injection is lower than dietary other pathways, direct into bloodstream remains concern. research provides critical evidence understanding blood plastic offering significant scientific value assessing safety device use.
