Toxicity evaluation of polypropylene microplastic on marine microcrustacean Artemia salina: An analysis of implications and vulnerability

Jeyaraj Jeyavani et al.

Summary: Polypropylene microplastic particles are a major pollutant in marine ecosystems, and their toxic effects on aquatic organisms are still unknown. In this study, spherical polypropylene microplastics were prepared and their toxic effects on different life stages of marine microcrustacean Artemia salina were assessed. The results showed that the accumulation of microplastics in the organism led to changes in homeostasis, increased oxidative burst, and mortality in nauplii and metanauplii. In addition, the swimming behavior of juvenile Artemia was changed and the consumption of microplastics disrupted antioxidant biomarkers and the activity of acetylcholinesterase. Histological damage was also observed in the epithelial cells of juvenile Artemia. This study suggests that exposure to polypropylene microplastics is more harmful to zooplanktonic organisms in the marine ecosystem.

Risk assessment of microplastic particles

Albert A. Koelmans et al.

Summary: This Review examines the properties of microplastic particles and discusses methods of assessing the risks they pose to humans and the environment. Microplastic particles are widespread in the environment and can be found in the air we breathe and the food we eat. The lack of a risk assessment framework that considers the multidimensionality of microplastic particles compared to natural particles is a key challenge. This article reviews current understanding of microplastic characteristics and effects and proposes a method for quantifying exposure and effect thresholds using probability density functions.

The Presence of a Substrate Strengthens The Jet Generated by Upside-Down Jellyfish

Nicholas Battista et al.

Summary: Upside-down jellyfish, commonly found in warm and shallow parts of the oceans, have a unique feeding mechanism where they rest upside down against the substrate. The presence of the substrate enhances the generation of jets and increases the volume of water sampled during each pulse.

Raman spectroscopic techniques for detecting structure and quality of frozen foods: principles and applications

Wenyang Zhang et al.

Summary: Raman spectroscopic techniques can assess the compositional, physicochemical, and sensory characteristics of frozen foods without any pretreatment, as well as investigate the structural alterations of protein, lipid, water and other components. The future development of Raman spectroscopy in monitoring frozen foods should focus on reducing overlapping signals, achieving real noninvasive detection, eliminating misclassification and quantification errors, establishing a standardized Raman database, and controlling cost.

The difference of aggregation mechanism between microplastics and nanoplastics: Role of Brownian motion and structural layer force

Hongyan Sun et al.

Summary: This study investigated the aggregation mechanisms of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) under different aquatic environments. The results showed that the behavior of NPs was affected by the concentration, valence, and hydrated ability of cations, while anions played a role in neutralizing negative charges on NPs surfaces. MPs were found to have high stability in natural water, while NPs tended to aggregate in brackish water and sea water environments.

The utility of jellyfish as marine biomonitors

Michelle A. Templeman et al.

Summary: Jellyfish are abundant in coastal waters and can be used as biomonitors of contaminants. Upside-down jellyfish, in particular, are potential candidates for monitoring short-term pollution pulses. Research demonstrates that jellyfish, including Cassiopea species, have the potential to be valuable for monitoring coastal impacts.

Trophic transfer of microbeads to jellyfish and the importance of aging microbeads for microplastic experiments

Phuping Sucharitakul et al.

Summary: The study found that ephyrae ingest more microbeads via trophic transfer than by direct ingestion, and that medusae ingest more microbeads from the light incubation than from the dark incubation or virgin microbeads, indicating that the presence of photosynthetic organisms in biofilms enhanced the palatability of the microbeads.

Microplastics in aquatic environments: A review on occurrence, distribution, toxic effects, and implications for human health

Gustavo Axel Elizalde-Velazquez et al.

Summary: Microplastics, which are fragments, fibers, granules, flakes, and spheres with a diameter or length of less than 5 mm, can enter aquatic environments through the breakdown of larger plastics or sewage spillage. Once in the environment, they may be transported via wind and water movement, posing a threat to aquatic organisms and potentially affecting human health. Research focuses on the distribution of microplastics in global aquatic ecosystems, their impact on aquatic organisms, and the potential toxic effects on humans.

Summary: With the increasing prevalence of plastic micro- and nanoparticles in the environment, the risk of human exposure and uptake is elevated, yet little is known about their potential adverse effects. This study successfully created fluorescently labeled plastic nanoparticles of heterogeneous shapes, and found differences in their uptake and compatibility within different cell types.
