Nano- ve Mikroplastik’lerin İnsan Sağlığı ve Ekosistem Üzerindeki Olası Etkileri
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed current evidence on nano- and microplastics as emerging global pollutants, noting that while chronic high-dose exposure via food and air is unlikely to cause severe acute toxicity, the potential long-term effects of microplastics carrying pathogens and toxic chemicals remain poorly understood.
Tamamiyla antropojenik kaynakli ve kalici bir cevresel kirletici olan nano- ve mikroplastikler, su, hava veya toprak kirliligi ile ilgili standartlarda henuz bir kirletici parametre olarak yer almasa da, son zamanlarda kuresel olcekte oncelikli kirleticiler kapsaminda dikkate alinmaya baslamistir. Maalesef gunumuzde tukettigimiz gidalar ve soludugumuz hava nano- ve mikroplastik kirliligi icerebilmektedir. Nano- ve mikroplastik’ lerin insan sagligina etkilerinin anlasilmasi konularindaki sinirli arastirmalar ve gozlemsel kanitlar, cesitli kaynaklardan gelebilecek nano- ve mikroplastik’ lere maruziyetin mevcut duzeylerinin ciddi bir toksisite olusturma ihtimalinin dusuk oldugunu, fakat imkansiz da olmayacagini gostermektedir. Bununla birlikte, patojenik mikroorganizmalari ve toksik kimyasallari yuzeyinde tasiyabilen nano- ve mikroplastik’ lerin yuksek dozlarda kronik olarak gidalarla yutulmasinin ve solunmasinin potansiyel etkileri henuz bilinmemektedir.

Use and Toxicological Effects of Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Personal Care Products: Traditional Review
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines the presence of micro- and nanoplastics in personal care products such as scrubs, toothpaste, and cosmetics, documenting exposure routes via oral, dermal, and inhalation pathways and associated toxicological effects including gut inflammation, oxidative stress, hormonal disruption, DNA damage, and increased cancer risk. Personal care products represent a direct intentional-use source of primary microplastics, and this review consolidates evidence linking consumer product exposure to systemic human health harms.
