Identificação e quantificação de microplásticos na atmosfera do Porto e riscos para a saúde humana
Summary
This study identified and quantified microplastics in the atmosphere of Porto, Portugal, characterizing airborne plastic particle types and concentrations and assessing potential health risks from inhalation exposure for city residents.
ii Resumo Os microplsticos so pequenos fragmentos de plsticos que possuem medidas inferiores a 5 mm, podendo j possuir esse tamanho ou atingi-lo por meio de degradao.Estando presentes na atmosfera, os microplsticos podem absorver/adsorver alguns poluentes do ar, com por exemplo, os que saem de escapes de automveis, assim como ligarem-se a compostos orgnicos, Hidrocarbonetos Aromticos Policclicos (PAHs) podendo ser considerados como cancergenos.Sendo assim a populao humana est exposta diariamente a microplsticos que contm em si compostos prejudiciais sade humana, havendo estudos com evidncias da presena de microplsticos na corrente sangunea alojando-se em rgos como os pulmes, crebro e feto.Neste trabalho cientfico pretende-se extrair os compostos de PAHs em amostras que

Microplastics and particulate matter: assessment of atmospheric pollution in the Region of Hortênsias, Brazil
Researchers measured microplastic concentrations alongside particulate matter in the atmosphere of an urban area, characterizing the size, morphology, and polymer composition of airborne plastic particles and assessing the contribution of different anthropogenic sources to atmospheric MP pollution.
Identification of microplastic present in the atmospheric aerosol of the Port of Veracruz
Researchers identified and characterized microplastics in atmospheric aerosol samples collected at the Port of Veracruz, Mexico, finding diverse polymer types in the air and suggesting that port activities and marine transport contribute to local airborne microplastic pollution.
A review of atmospheric microplastics pollution: In-depth sighting of sources, analytical methods, physiognomies, transport and risks
This review provides an in-depth analysis of atmospheric microplastic pollution, examining sources, detection methods, physical characteristics, transport mechanisms, and health risks. Researchers found that indoor environments tend to contain higher concentrations of airborne microplastics than outdoor settings, and that current detection methods are limited in their ability to capture the smallest particles. The study emphasizes the need for standardized sampling procedures and more research into the health effects of inhaling microplastic particles.
An emerging class of air pollutants: Potential effects of microplastics to respiratory human health?
This review explores the emerging concern that airborne microplastics can be inhaled by humans, potentially causing adverse effects on the respiratory system. Researchers compiled available data on the concentration, size, shape, and chemical composition of microplastic particles found in urban air. The findings suggest that airborne plastic debris represents a largely understudied class of air pollutant with potential implications for human health.
A comprehensive review of micro- and nano-plastics in the atmosphere: Occurrence, fate, toxicity, and strategies for risk reduction.
This review examines a decade of research on micro- and nano-plastics (MNPs) in the atmosphere, covering their occurrence in outdoor and indoor air, toxicological effects on human health, and strategies to reduce exposure risk from inhalation of airborne plastic particles.
