Discovery and quantification of plastic particle pollution in human blood

Heather A. Leslie et al.

Summary: Plastic particles are widespread pollutants in the environment and food chain, and this study successfully developed a method to measure the presence of plastic particles in human blood. The study found four high production volume polymers in blood samples and demonstrated that plastic particles can be taken up by the human bloodstream.

Microplastics detected in cirrhotic liver tissue

Thomas Horvatits et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in human liver tissue and found six different MP polymers in the liver of individuals with liver cirrhosis, but not in those without underlying liver disease.

The impact of microplastic pollution on ecological environment: a review

Xi Mao et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the impact of microplastic pollution on the ecological environment, including its source, distribution, transmission, and effects. The study found that synergistic effects between microplastics and organic pollutants increase the toxicity of pollutants to organisms, and different levels of aquatic organisms are harmed to varying degrees by microplastics. However, further research is needed on the toxic effects of microplastics and organic pollutants on organisms, the distribution of microplastics in higher aquatic organisms, and nutrient transfer in complex aquatic food webs.

Understanding plastic degradation and microplastic formation in the environment: A review

Kai Zhang et al.

Summary: Plastic waste pollution is a global issue that poses a potential threat to ecosystems and human health, but knowledge on plastic environmental degradation and microplastic formation is still limited. Future research should further study the key factors influencing plastic degradation to predict the fate of plastics in different environments.

A Review of Human Exposure to Microplastics and Insights Into Microplastics as Obesogens

Kurunthachalam Kannan et al.

Summary: Humans are ubiquitously exposed to microplastics through inhalation of particles in air and ingestion in water, dust, and diet. This exposure can lead to inflammation, immunological response, endocrine disruption, and other disorders. The size, shape, chemical composition, and other characteristics of microplastics influence their toxicity.
