Microplásticos presentes no leite ofertado na primeira infância
Summary
This review examines the presence of microplastics in milk consumed during early childhood, focusing on identifying contamination sources and assessing concentration levels. Researchers analyzed existing studies on global microplastic monitoring in milk products and the analytical methods used to detect these particles. The study discusses potential health risks associated with infant exposure to microplastics through milk and suggests sustainable alternatives to reduce contamination.
Esta revisão abrange a interseção da ciência de polímeros e a saúde humana, destacando os microplásticos presentes no leite ofertado às crianças na primeira infância, com enfoque na identificação, avaliação da concentração e fontes de contaminação. Busca-se compreender os potenciais riscos à saúde associados à exposição a microplásticos por meio da ingestão de leite. Esta interseção é realizada por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica abrangente do tema. Centra-se no monitoramento global dos microplásticos e as análises utilizadas para avaliar a presença e as características dessas partículas. Os objetivos envolvem a análise crítica dos potenciais riscos à saúde humana associados à exposição a microplásticos. A revisão também discute possíveis soluções visando mitigar riscos, ressaltando alternativas sustentáveis e estratégias para redução da exposição a microplásticos.

Microplastics in dairy products and human breast milk: Contamination status and greenness analysis of available analytical methods
Researchers reviewed the contamination of dairy products and human breast milk with microplastics, finding concentrations as high as 2,590 microplastic particles per liter, while also noting that most current detection methods are not environmentally safe or standardized. The findings call for stricter food safety regulations and greener analytical tools to track microplastic contamination in foods consumed from infancy.
Development and validation of analytical methods to detect small microplastics (10 -100 µm) in infant formula milk powder
Researchers developed and validated analytical methods to detect small microplastics in milk, addressing the challenge of analyzing particles in a complex food matrix. The validated methods confirmed microplastic presence in dairy products and provide tools for routine food safety monitoring.
Microplastics in Dairy Products: Occurrence, Characterization, Contamination Sources, Detection Methods, and Future Challenges
Researchers reviewed 17 studies on microplastic contamination in milk and dairy products and found concentrations ranging from undetectable to over 10,000 particles per kilogram, with baby milk powder showing the highest levels. The most common plastics found were polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, and polyester, including some types considered harmful to human health. The study highlights that dairy products are particularly susceptible to microplastic contamination from packaging, processing equipment, and the environment.
