Dried fish more prone to microplastics contamination over fresh fish-Higher potential of trophic transfer to human body

Jabed Hasan et al.

Summary: The study investigated the contamination of microplastics (MPs) in three commercially important fishes in fresh and dried conditions from two locations in the Bay of Bengal. The results showed that ribbon fish had the highest intake of MPs through the gills in the fresh condition and contained the highest amount of MPs in the dried condition. The study highlights the potential risk of trophic transfer of MPs from dried fishes to the human body in the Bay of Bengal.

First evidence of microplastic contamination in ready-to-use packaged food ice cubes

V. C. Shruti et al.

Summary: Microplastics were detected in 100% of the evaluated ice cube samples, with concentrations ranging from 19 to 178 L-1. The microplastic concentration varied significantly across samples, and the main types found were polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl alcohol, tygon polymer, sealing ring gardena 2824 large, polyamide 6, and cellophane. The study estimated that ice cube consumption in Mexico City could lead to the inadvertent ingestion of a large number of microplastics annually, highlighting the need for management and eradication of this contamination in our food.

Updated review on microplastics in water, their occurrence, detection, measurement, environmental pollution, and the need for regulatory standards

Ahmed Yusuf et al.

Summary: The impact of microplastics pollution in the environment is significant and it is crucial to control their proliferation; while some research studies have been published on monitoring and removing microplastics, there is a lack of explicit regulatory framework globally; proposing targeted regulatory frameworks for microplastics is necessary to reduce their spread.

Occurrence of microplastics in commercial marine dried fish in Asian countries

Nathangi Piyawardhana et al.

Summary: A study found a high presence of microplastics in 14 different marine dried fish products from seven Asian countries, with fibers making up around 80% of the total microplastics. The major plastic polymers identified included polyethylene, PET, polystyrene, PVC, and polypropylene. Consumption of whole marine dried fish products may contribute to human ingestion of microplastics, especially in Asian countries, potentially posing health risks. Further research is needed to identify smaller sized microplastics and nanoplastics and their potential health impacts.

Ranking of potential hazards from microplastics polymers in the marine environment

Zhihao Yuan et al.

Summary: This study developed a risk assessment model to rank microplastics (MPs) of potential health concern in marine exposure pathways. The model considered parameters such as toxicity potential, particle size distribution, and degradation status. The screening strategy identified certain polymers as top-ranking contributors to the risk. The findings can inform scientific community and policymakers for better management of MPs.

Presence of microplastics in two common dried marine fish species from Bangladesh

Jabed Hasan et al.

Summary: This study found a high presence of microplastics in dried fish from the Bay of Bengal. The samples from Kuakata had significantly higher amounts of microplastics compared to the samples from Cox's Bazar. Fibers were the most common type of microplastics identified in the samples. ATR-FTIR analysis revealed the presence of three different types of microplastic polymers in the dried fish samples.

Effects of aging on environmental behavior of plastic additives: Migration, leaching, and ecotoxicity

Hongwei Luo et al.

Summary: Microplastics are an emerging pollutant of global concern, and the additives within them may also have harmful effects on the environment. Through aging, these additives can be released from microplastics into the environment, increasing the ecotoxicological risk. Studying the functions and environmental behaviors of these additives helps to assess the environmental impact and potential risks of microplastics.

Lifetime Accumulation of Microplastic in Children and Adults

Nur Hazimah Mohamed Nor et al.

Summary: The study presents a probabilistic lifetime exposure model for microplastics that considers intake through various pathways, simulating concentrations in different parts of the body and validating against empirical data. Results indicate a small contribution of microplastics to overall chemical intake. Future research should focus on exploring the contributions of other food types to microplastic exposure.

How well-protected are protected areas from anthropogenic microplastic contamination? Review of analytical methods, current trends, and prospects

Gurusamy Kutralam-Muniasamy et al.

Summary: Microplastics have gained global attention for their negative impacts on organism health and the environment. Recent studies in protected areas have shown that microplastic contamination is widespread, with varying levels of abundance geographically and over 50% of biota ingesting microplastics. Methodological discrepancies pose challenges in comparing results and generating baseline data on microplastic contamination levels. Close monitoring and a standardized approach are necessary to assess the extent of microplastic entry and persistence in protected area environments.

Chemical speciation of selected toxic metals and multivariate statistical techniques used to assess water quality of tropical Mexican Lake Chapala

Jorge Omar Murillo-Delgado et al.

Summary: Lake Chapala in Mexico is essential for human consumption as a water supply, and its water quality is crucial for its wellbeing. The study used water quality index, metal chemical speciation, and multivariate statistical techniques to monitor and assess the water quality. Descriptive statistics showed healthy total metal concentrations, but dissolved Cd and Pb exceeded limits while Zn was below, indicating satisfactory water quality for aquatic life. Unfortunately, poor water quality was attributed to industrial and agro-industrial effluents.
