Are Ingested or Inhaled Microplastics Involved in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease?

Teresa Auguet et al.

Summary: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is influenced by dietary and environmental factors, and plastic pollution may contribute to its development and progression. Laboratory studies have shown that plastic particles can cause inflammation, immune responses, and metabolic disorders, as well as potentially alter gut microbiota composition. Mitigation of plastic pollution and reducing human exposure levels may help reduce the risk of NAFLD.

Contributions of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in microplastic pollution research: A review

S. Veerasingam et al.

Summary: This review highlights the extensive use of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in microplastic (MP) pollution research since 2004. Over 400 research papers on FTIR techniques in MP pollution research from 2010 to 2019 were identified, focusing on MP characterization, fate, and transport in various environmental matrices. The review provides insights into the current application of FTIR spectroscopy in MP research and future challenges for understanding the risk of MPs.

Microplastic removal in conventional drinking water treatment processes: Performance, mechanism, and potential risk

Sang-Heon Na et al.

Summary: The study found that the removal efficiency of microplastics in traditional drinking water treatment plants is influenced by the size of microplastics, the type of coagulant, and water characteristics. They used X-ray microcomputed tomography technique and two-site kinetic modeling to discover that microplastics below 20 microns were retained by attachment to the sand surface.
