Detection and Analysis of Microplastics in Human Sputum

Shumin Huang et al.

Summary: Microplastic pollution is a emerging environmental problem that has little research on its impact on human health. This study investigated the presence of microplastics in human sputum and found that they are ubiquitous in the respiratory tract, indicating inhalation as a potential pathway for plastics to enter the human body. The types and quantities of microplastics were found to be related to factors such as smoking and invasive examination.

Analysis of Microplastics in Human Feces Reveals a Correlation between Fecal Microplastics and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Status

Zehua Yan et al.

Summary: The study found that the concentration of fecal microplastics in patients with inflammatory bowel disease was significantly higher than in healthy individuals, with poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polyamide being the main components in the feces. A positive correlation between fecal microplastics concentration and the severity of IBD was also observed. Plastic packaging of drinking water and food, as well as dust exposure, were identified as important sources of human exposure to microplastics.

Microplastic occurrence in urban and industrial soils of Ahvaz metropolis: A city with a sustained record of air pollution

Mohammad Javad Nematollahi et al.

Summary: This study investigates the concentration, distribution, fate, and chemical composition of microplastics in urban and industrial soils in Ahvaz, Iran. The study found higher concentrations of microplastics in urban soils, particularly in the city center, which may be attributed to insufficient sanitation infrastructure and high traffic loads. Microplastics were found in various shapes, colors, and sizes, with microfibers being the most abundant. The dominant polymers in the microplastics were polyethylene terephthalate and nylon, which could originate from textiles and tires.

Characterization of atmospheric aerosols in the Antarctic region using Raman Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy

Cesar Marina-Montes et al.

Summary: The non-destructive spectroscopic characterization of airborne particulate matter in the Antarctic region revealed the complex elemental and molecular composition of atmospheric aerosols at the particle level. Raman spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy techniques identified a variety of organic compounds, black carbon, exotic minerals, and natural PM in the samples collected from the surroundings of the Spanish Antarctic Research Station Gabriel de Castilla. The presence of microplastic fibers in the Antarctic air for the first time suggests the influence of anthropogenic activities even in pristine and remote regions.

An emerging role of microplastics in the etiology of lung ground glass nodules

Qiqing Chen et al.

Summary: This study validates the presence of microplastics in human lung tissues and explores their correlation with the formation of GGNs. Microfibers, including microplastics, were found embedded in lung tissues, and their abundance increased with age. Patients with a higher exposure risk to microfibers had a significantly higher rate of GGN formation, suggesting a possible link between microfiber inhalation and GGN formation. The roughness of microfibers' surface may also be related to disease progression.

Detection of microplastics in human lung tissue using μFTIR spectroscopy

Lauren C. Jenner et al.

Summary: Airborne microplastics (MPs) have been found to have increased concentrations in areas with high human population and activity, especially indoors. This study analyzed human lung tissue samples and identified 39 MPs in 11 out of 13 samples, with an average concentration of 1.42 +/- 1.50 MP/g of tissue. The most abundant polymer types were polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and resin. The study also found that MPs were present in all regions of the lung, with significantly higher levels in the lower region compared to the upper and middle regions. These findings suggest that inhalation is a route of exposure for environmental MPs.

Summary: Microplastics have drawn public interest due to global plastic pollution, and studies have shown their presence throughout the food chain. The lack of information on microplastic contamination in dairy products is mainly due to a lack of robust analytical methods, but a new methodology using micro-Raman technology has been developed to accurately quantify microplastics in milk-based products. This study revealed the presence of small-sized microplastics in raw milk and some processed commercial cow's milk products for the first time.
