The impact of nano/micro-plastics toxicity on seafood quality and human health: facts and gaps

Sedat Gundogdu et al.

Summary: Contamination of the food and marine environment with nano/micro-plastic particles is a serious concern. Although fish have a low absorption rate of microplastics, prolonged exposure to high levels of orally administered microplastics may be hazardous. This review presents novel findings on the occurrence and properties of microplastics in the marine environment and seafood, as well as their impact on human health.

Informal landfill contributes to the pollution of microplastics in the surrounding environment

Yong Wan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the characteristics of microplastic pollution in an informal landfill in South China. The results indicate that a large amount of microplastics are present in the landfill refuse and underlying soil, with most of them being fibrous, small sized, and transparent. The microplastics detected in the landfill leachate and groundwater are even smaller and more diverse in polymer types. The study demonstrates that microplastics from informal landfills can leak out to the surrounding environment.

Microfluidic-based in vitro thrombosis model for studying microplastics toxicity

Longfei Chen et al.

Summary: This study introduces an optically assisted thrombus platform to investigate the interaction between microplastics (MPs) and the vascular system. Accumulation risk of MPs is evaluated using a mouse model, and the effect on thrombus properties is validated through in vitro experiments. The results show a high risk of thrombus shedding in real blood flow compared to normal thrombus.

Groundwater quality monitoring by correlation, regression and hierarchical clustering analyses using WQI and PAST tools

Chinmoy Ranjan Das et al.

Summary: Groundwater quality monitoring is crucial due to environmental and economic factors. The study in Contai region of India reveals that most water quality parameters are within allowable ranges, with only a few stations affected by seawater influx causing high concentrations of certain parameters. Overall, groundwater quality is suitable for drinking, although only a small percentage of samples meet excellent drinking water standards.

Comment on the paper Microplastic contamination of an unconfined groundwater aquifer in Victoria, Australia

Jihye Cha et al.

Summary: This paper comments on several important issues of an original paper published in this journal. The original paper used plastic materials for groundwater sampling and evaluated their potential contamination. To accurately and reliably analyze the presence of microplastics in groundwater, non-plastic equipment should be used at every step of the method, and larger volumes of groundwater samples should be collected. Additionally, the original paper computed Pearson correlation coefficients without conducting a normality test.

Human health concerns regarding microplastics in the aquatic environment- From marine to food systems

Zhihao Yuan et al.

Summary: Marine plastic waste pollution is a pressing global environmental issue that has attracted attention worldwide. This study conducts a review of microplastics, providing insight into their definition, characterization, and their presence in marine and food systems. The study reveals that plastic waste does not biodegrade but breaks down into small particles that can be ingested by organisms, posing potential risks to both human health and the environment.

Distribution and transport of microplastics in groundwater (Shiraz aquifer, southwest Iran)

Atefeh Esfandiari et al.

Summary: This study detected microplastic particles in an alluvial aquifer in a semi-arid region, with an average concentration of 0.48 particles per liter. The dominant polymers were polystyrene, polyethylene, and polyethylene terephthalate. The study suggests that consuming potable groundwater may contribute to microplastic exposure through ingestion.

Errors and recommended practices that should be identified to reduce suspected concentrations of microplastics in soil and groundwater: A review

Rogers Wainkwa Chia et al.

Summary: Many studies on microplastics have focused on marine environment, but studies on soil and groundwater microplastic contamination are recently emerging. However, a number of errors have been found in these studies, including sample quantity, quality assurance and equipment used, microplastic identification, and microplastic classification. Recommendations are provided to address these errors, such as using blank soil samples and metallic filters, using statistical software packages and verifying statistical prerequisite laws, and using stereo microscopes in conjunction with Raman or FTIR spectroscopy for microplastic identification in soils and groundwater.

Circulation of fibrous microplastic (microfiber) in sewage and sewage sludge treatment processes

Satoshi Nakao et al.

Summary: The fate of microplastics (MPs) in sewage treatment reveals that some MPs from sludge can flow back to sewage, contributing to the circulation of MPs between sewage and sludge treatment processes. Fibrous polyethylene terephthalate microplastics (microfibers) were found to be the main MPs in the sludge sidestream, highlighting the importance of their removal during sludge treatment for effectively increasing the overall removal rate of MPs.
