Abstract:

Microplastics are synthetic polymers with major dimension of ≤5 mm. The particles occur in a large variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and compositions. Microplastics enter the food chain, they may be biomagnified and bioaccumulated by larger organisms and ultimately reach humans. Apart from organisms, other food materials such as salt, honey, beer, tea bags, and drinking water have also been reported to have microplastic contamination. Organs reported to be contaminated by microplastics and nanoplastics include the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory system, skin, liver, kidneys, and even the b

Abstract. Microplastic, resulting from the breakdown of larger plastic objects, poses substantial threats to ecosystems and human health. This research addresses the escalating environmental concern of airborne microplastics by developing a low-cost detection machine employing infrared sensors. The near-infrared light is attached to the machine for detection using the sensors. Different types of microplastic, specifically less than 5mm, are used. There are 3 types of plastics used for detection, 30 pieces each of polyethylene, polystyrene, and polyester microplastics. Each type of microplastic

Abstract:

The mass manufacture and extensive usage of plastics have brought about the spread of microplastics throughout the whole environment and even into the bodies of humans and animals. The toxic effects of microplastics cannot be ignored and their accumulation in the body is potentially dangerous. Therefore, scientists have used different methods to observe the morphology of microplastics in the mammal body and to detect and evaluate the levels of microplastics in the body. As a result, the toxicological consequences of plastic particles on the body are well understood. This review summarized some

The pollution of microplastics in the environment has attracted worldwide attention, and research and reports on microplastic pollution in soil have gradually increased in recent decades. Currently, microplastic particles can be accurately detected through Raman spectroscopy or Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, allowing for individual particle analysis and visual identification of suspicious microplastic particles.

Abstract:

Microplastic pollution has emerged as a significant environmental concern, with potential direct and indirect impacts on ecosystems. Microplastics are pervasive, found in water, food, and even the air we breathe. While their influence on human health is still unclear, microplastics are known to possess endocrine-disrupting properties and can accumulate persistent organic pollutants. Accurate measurement and categorization of microplastics are crucial to understanding their prevalence and impact on contamination. Fortunately, there are several methods available, such as visual analysis, fluores

Abstract:

Microplastics are small particles of any kind of plastic, not exceeding 5 mm. Microplastic is one of the main problems today. Because these small particles not only pollute the environment, but also get into living organisms, animals and, worst of all, into the human body as a result of natural circulation in nature. Thereby contribute to the formation of various diseases in the human body. Because of the size of microplastic we do not notice how it enters our body. But they can be detected by laboratory tests.

Abstract:

The study proposes a novel speckle interferometric method for detecting and quantifying microplastic leaching from paper cups, addressing concerns raised by the World Health Organization regarding human health risks. Hot water at varying temperatures is placed in 36 paper cups from different manufacturers, and the specklegrams of the paper cups’ interior surface are recorded. The quantity of microplastics leached into water is estimated by the Neubauer chamber method, which increases with rising water temperature. Surface morphology analysis through atomic force microscopic images reveals ther

Microplastics, defined as particles measuring less than 5 mm, have emerged as widespread environmental pollutants, prompting concerns regarding their impact on soil ecosystems. This review investigates microplastics' presence, movement, and effects on soil health and ecosystem dynamics while highlighting their diverse sources, including industrial production and the breakdown of larger plastic materials. Despite their ubiquity, a significant gap exists in our understanding of the consequences of microplastics in terrestrial ecosystems, particularly within soils. The findings of this review art

Microplastics are major pollutants in the environment, and it is currently established that microplastics have already entered human food chains and been incorporated into the human body through ingestion and inhalation. Several works in animal models have already reported the adverse effect of microplastic exposure on biological systems; however, the effect of microplastic contamination on human health is still far from understood. In previous work, we reported microplastic contamination in the digestive tract of the Indonesian coastal and highland population. Using the same stool samples, we

The most commonly used methods for the detection and identification of small microplastics generally require a complex sample preparation procedure and only allow for static measurements. Quality control of food and drinking water therefore requires a lot of effort. Especially in view of the increasing amount of plastic waste in the environment, the rising public awareness of the issue and the indications for adverse effects of microplastics on human health, more sophisticated measuring methods are required.

Honey, renowned for its nutritional and therapeutic properties, has recently come under scrutiny due to its contamination by microplastics, in multiple ways. Bees’ exposure to plastic pollution impacts the whole hive’s ecosystem, and plastic tends to accumulate in hive products. Plastic packaging as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is used to store honey in small flexible packages, which also increases the risk of microplastic migration. This study aims to establish three practical detection methods for PET microplastics and nanoplastics in honey, using readily available laboratory equipment w
