Release of tens of thousands of microfibers from discarded face masks under simulated environmental conditions

Pengfei Wu et al.

Summary: Mechanical abrasion of discarded face masks can release microfibers, with surgical masks releasing the most. The length of released microfibers mainly falls in the range of 0.1-1 mm, but smaller fibers can also be present in sediment environments.

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.

Modifications of microplastics in urban environmental management systems: A review

Ruijuan Liu et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the modifications and degradation processes of microplastics in urban environmental management systems, discussing their effects on environmental behavior. The study reveals a high abundance of microplastics in sewage sludge and aging solid waste, while digestion and composting contribute to their decomposition. Several novel technologies for microplastics removal are listed, though an appropriate method for actual application is lacking.

Face masks as a source of nanoplastics and microplastics in the environment: Quantification, characterization, and potential for bioaccumulation

Jie Ma et al.

Summary: The study found that billions of disposable face masks are consumed daily due to the COVID-19 pandemic and may serve as a source of nanoplastics and microplastics in the environment. More than one billion nanoparticles and microplastics were released from each surgical or N95 face mask, with most particles sized in the nano range. The middle layers of masks released more particles than the outer and inner layers.

Reprocessing of N95 masks: Experience from a resource-limited setting in India

Anusha Rohit et al.

Summary: This study investigated the possibilities of decontamination and reuse of N95 masks, with plasma sterilization recommended in low-resource settings for mask decontamination. Ethylene oxide is not recommended due to associated hazards, while evaluation of UV decontamination for N95 masks needs to be performed case by case.

Neglected microplastics pollution in global COVID-19: Disposable surgical masks

Maocai Shen et al.

Summary: With the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 globally, disposable surgical masks have become widely used, but irresponsible disposal of masks can lead to significant microplastic pollution. Masks can release a large amount of microplastic fibers, and the addition of organic solvents as well as weathering can increase the release of microplastics.

Measuring particle size distribution and mass concentration of nanoplastics and microplastics: addressing some analytical challenges in the sub-micron size range

F. Caputo et al.

Summary: The implementation of ECHA's proposal to restrict the use of nanoplastics and microplastics in consumer products requires reliable methods for size and mass-based concentration measurements. Different analytical techniques have varying applicability and limitations, especially at the interface between nanometre and micrometre scales. High-resolution sizing and concentration measurements in the size range between 60 nm and 5 µm can be achieved with tunable resistive pulse sensing and centrifugal liquid sedimentation techniques.

Used disposable face masks are significant sources of microplastics to environment

Xianchuan Chen et al.

Summary: The consumption of disposable face masks has increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to environmental pollution due to improper disposal. Used face masks have shown a substantial increase in releasing microplastics, which could pose a threat to the environment.

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.

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.
