An emerging source of plastic pollution: Environmental presence of plastic personal protective equipment (PPE) debris related to COVID-19 in a metropolitan city

Justine Ammendolia et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in production, consumption, and disposal of personal protective equipment (PPE), mainly made of single-use plastic. The study conducted in the metropolitan city of Toronto, Canada found that disposable gloves were the most common PPE debris item, followed by face masks and disinfectant wipes. High densities of PPE debris were observed in grocery store parking lots and hospital districts, while lower densities were found in residential areas and recreational trails. Proper disposal methods for PPE debris should be improved through municipal efforts informed by waste pathways.

Single-use surgical face masks, as a potential source of microplastics: Do they act as pollutant carriers?

Ioannis Anastopoulos et al.

Summary: Millions of people are using face coverings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a large number of discarded masks entering the environment, potentially becoming a source of microplastic pollution that threatens marine life. Experimental results show that single-use surgical face masks can act as carriers of dye molecules in water environments. Thermal treatment of masks and using resulting carbonaceous materials as efficient adsorbents may offer a possibility for disinfection and recycling of used masks.

Plastic residues produced with confirmatory testing for COVID-19: Classification, quantification, fate, and impacts on human health

Jose E. Celis et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 diagnostic tests generate a significant amount of disposable plastic waste, with no clear correlation to a country's population size, GDP, or confirmed cases. The incineration of these plastic residues releases toxic chemicals into the environment, highlighting the need to reduce plastic waste and improve emissions control at incineration plants. In the long term, the development of biodegradable biomedical manufacturing free of toxic chemicals during incineration should be considered.

Unprecedented plastic-made personal protective equipment (PPE) debris in river outlets into Jakarta Bay during COVID-19 pandemic

Muhammad Reza Cordova et al.

Summary: Increased plastic use during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to challenges in reducing marine plastic debris. In Jakarta Bay, Indonesia, there was a 5% increase in debris abundance and a 23-28% decrease in weight in March-April 2020 compared to March-April 2016, with plastics making up 46% of the river debris.

COVID-19: Performance study of microplastic inhalation risk posed by wearing masks

Lu Li et al.

Summary: Wearing face masks has become the new normal worldwide due to the global spread of COVID-19. This study found that wearing masks significantly reduces the inhalation risk of particles, including microplastics, even after prolonged use. Different types of masks pose varying risks of microplastic inhalation, with N95 masks posing the least risk. Reusing masks after disinfection processes can increase the risk of inhaling microplastics.

Occurrence of personal protective equipment (PPE) associated with the COVID-19 pandemic along the coast of Lima, Peru

Gabriel E. De-la-Torre et al.

Summary: The study reported the occurrence and distribution of COVID-19-associated PPE along the coast of Lima, Peru, with recreational beaches being the most polluted sites where most PPE was discarded by beachgoers. The lack of environmental awareness, education, and coastal mismanagement may pose a threat to the marine environment.

The impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on marine litter pollution along the Kenyan Coast: A synthesis after 100 days following the first reported case in Kenya

Eric Okuku et al.

Summary: The study examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on marine litter pollution in Mombasa, Kilifi, and Kwale counties of Kenya in June 2020, revealing that urban beaches had a higher proportion of COVID-19 related items due to purchasing habits and lifestyle choices. In contrast, recreational beaches showed minimal presence of COVID-19 related products, likely due to the beach closure directive as a contingency measure. Overall, beach closures and restricted movement helped reduce litter leakage into the marine environment.
