Potential human health risks due to environmental exposure to nano-and microplastics and knowledge gaps: A scoping review

Arifur Rahman et al.

Summary: Microplastics are an emerging global environmental contaminant that may have negative impacts on human health through various pathways such as metabolic disturbances, neurotoxicity, and increased cancer risk. Currently, little is known about the effects of microplastics on human health, and further research is needed to quantify their impacts and pathogenesis.

Microplastics Contamination in Commercial Green Mussels from Selected Wet Markets in Thailand

Hewawasam Udumullage Erangi Imasha et al.

Summary: Mussels are commonly used as sentinel organisms to indicate microplastic pollution worldwide, particularly as a direct way to quantify human exposure through seafood consumption. This study found widespread microplastic contamination in market-sold green mussels in Thailand, with ethylene/propylene copolymer, low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate being the most common polymers. Fragments were the dominant morphotype, indicating that the consumption of green mussels may be a significant exposure pathway for the Thai population, especially due to the prevalence of smaller size microplastics with reported higher impacts.
