The pollution indices of microplastic content in bottled water from South Eastern Nigeria were evaluated. Microplastic contamination factors, load and risk index, polymer and...

Microplastic (MP) ingestion by fish can not only impact the environment but also human health. This study determines abundance and composition (polymer, shape, size) of MPs ingested gray mullet (Mugil cephalus). A total 30 specimens were purchased from local market collected Lake Cernek located in Kızılırmak Delta, Türkiye fishermen. The digestive tracts removed digested with hydrogen peroxide ...

Plastics have been used by human beings in a wide variety of materials. Recently, microplastics, either primary or secondary, are encountered different part the environment on global scale. One common type microplastic is micro fiber. Microfibers known to be released from washing textile The amount fiber varies depending conditions and characterization. Microplastics can harmfull for aquatic or...

Background and Aims : Although microplastics being omnipresent in our environment already detected various organisms, less is known about the effects of on vascular biology particular. Here we investigated carboxylated polystyrene (PS) microplastic particles (1 ?m) murine endothelial immune cells, which are both crucially involved inflammation.Methods: Murine monocytic J774A.1 cells MyEND were ...

Microplastic particles are ubiquitous in the environment, from air we breathe to food eat. The key question with respect these is what extent they cause risks for environment and human health. There no risk assessment framework that takes into account multidimensionality of microplastic against background numerous natural particles, which together encompass an infinite combination sizes, shapes...

Scientists have demonstrated the presence of microplastics (MPs) in tap and bottled water at various locations. On a global scale, there is still very limited information on MP pollution drinking water. There are huge differences reported concentration, but no clear conclusion can be drawn if content higher or Up to date, it not these discrepancies arise from between examined systems quantifica...
