Detection and characterization of microplastics and nanoplastics in biological samples
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed current methods for detecting and characterizing microplastics and nanoplastics in biological samples, finding that most techniques are optimized for environmental media like water and perform poorly in complex biological matrices, and recommending improved workflows for digestion, separation, enrichment, and analysis of particles in organisms and human tissues.
Environmental Fate and Effects of Microplastics on Organisms
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examined the environmental fate of microplastics — including fragmentation dynamics, sorption of co-contaminants, and bioaccumulation through food webs — alongside their toxic effects on organisms ranging from invertebrates to mammals. Understanding how plastics persist, concentrate toxicants, and biomagnify through trophic levels is essential for predicting long-term health consequences for wildlife and human consumers.
