Presence of airborne microplastics in human lung tissue

Luis Fernando Amato-Lourenco et al.

Summary: This study confirmed the presence of microplastics in human lung tissues, with polyethylene and polypropylene being the most frequently detected polymers. The potential adverse effects of these microplastics on the respiratory system following inhalation are still unknown, but further research is needed to understand the heterogeneous characteristics of these contaminants.

Microplastics in four bivalve species and basis for using bivalves as bioindicators of microplastic pollution

Jinfeng Ding et al.

Summary: The study found that the abundance of microplastics in the digestive systems of bivalves varied significantly between different seasons and regions, with microfibers being the most common shape. Ruditapes philippinarum accumulated more smaller-sized microplastics, while Mytilus galloprovincialis could reflect the variability of microplastic polymer types in the surrounding water.

Validation of microplastic sample preparation method for freshwater samples

Aron Mari et al.

Summary: Studies show the potential risks of microplastics to ecosystems and the need for standardized methods for measuring their concentration. A new study has developed a Small Volume Glass Separator for enhanced microplastic recovery, showing higher recovery rates than traditional methods and effectiveness across various microplastic types.
