Lipidomic analysis of single and combined effects of polyethylene microplastics and polychlorinated biphenyls on human hepatoma cells

Albert Menendez-Pedriza et al.

Summary: Microplastics have emerged as a new environmental issue due to their persistence and toxic potential, with the ability to adsorb and transport environmental pollutants. Research shows that while microplastics have minimal effect on cell lethality, they may enhance the release of previously sorbed toxic substances.

A review: Research progress on microplastic pollutants in aquatic environments

Yuanqiang Tang et al.

Summary: The widespread issue of microplastics in water has attracted global attention for its potential harm to aquatic organisms and humans. Microplastics act as carriers for heavy metals and other pollutants, amplifying their effects through the food chain. Research and regulations are needed to reduce the impact of microplastics on the environment and human health.

Normalizing the Biomagnification Factor

Frank A. P. C. Gobas et al.

Summary: This study explores the normalization of BMF of lipophilic chemicals in fish, finding that BMF is influenced by the lipid content of the diet and biomagnifies to a greater degree. Normalizing BMF to both the lipid content of fish and the diet provides a better representation of biomagnification in the real world.

The influence of different polymer types of microplastics on adsorption, accumulation, and toxicity of triclosan in zebrafish

Cheng Sheng et al.

Summary: Different types of microplastics can affect the adsorption, accumulation, and toxicity of triclosan in zebrafish, with polypropylene having the highest adsorption capacity. Co-exposure to triclosan and polypropylene microplastics significantly increased oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in the liver, as well as enhanced neurotoxicity in the brain. Microplastics contributed more to metabolic disorders in the liver compared to triclosan alone.

The sorption of persistent organic pollutants in microplastics from the coastal environment

Lin-Chi Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that microplastic pellets collected from sandy beaches around Taiwan contained various organic pollutants, with high concentrations of PCDD/Fs, PBDD/Fs, PBDEs, and other POPs. These pollutants were mainly adsorbed into the inner part of microplastic pellets, resulting in a high ratio of total concentrations to surficial concentrations.

Yajun Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the adsorption behavior of tetracyclines on polyethylene microplastics and explored the mechanism through experimental and simulation analyses. Experimental results showed that the adsorption behavior of TCs was influenced by factors such as time, pH, and ionic strength.

Toxicological effects of microplastics and phenanthrene to zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Kaihang Xu et al.

Summary: The study found that microplastics enhance the toxicity of phenanthrene and have a synergistic effect. Accumulation of both microplastics and phenanthrene increased with prolonged exposure time, and the combined exposure group showed more severe effects.

Plastic additives in deep-sea debris collected from the western North Pacific and estimation for their environmental loads

Nurlatifah et al.

Summary: This study focused on identifying polymer types and additive concentrations in plastic debris collected from the deep-sea of Sagami Bay, Japan and the West Pacific Ocean. The results showed that hazardous additives, including DEHP and BHT, were present in significant amounts within the plastic debris, highlighting the substantial chemical burden within plastic debris at abyssal depths of the ocean.
