Análise Swot No Diagnóstico Estratégico Da Associação Municipal De Apicultores De Jacobina - Pi
AI summary Read the abstract
Not relevant to microplastics research; the title refers to a SWOT analysis of a beekeepers' association in Brazil (Jacobina, PI), though the abstract text has been incorrectly populated with a microplastics health review — this is a data error in the record.
Microplastics (MPs) are materials derived from plastics with a size smaller than 5 mm.Environmental contamination with these materials has been growing significantly in the last century due to the substantial use of materials derived from synthetic polymers, harming several ecosystems on a global scale.The objective of this review was to list the main damages caused by microplastics in human health, highlighting the main organic systems.As a methodology, a narrative literature review was used with articles from the last five years.Human exposure to microplastics has been found to occur through ingestion of contaminated food and water and inhalation of dust.Studies show that exposure to these materials is significantly harmful to the body, causing generalized pro-inflammatory reactions, dysbiosis and sterility.Although the damage to the organism is undeniable, research with humans remains with a reduced sample number, restricting the results to studies in mice.

Researchers found microplastics — including PET, polyamide, and PVC particles — inside honeybees collected from urban, peri-urban, and rural areas of Brazil, with urban bees carrying the highest loads, suggesting that bees may inadvertently pick up and transport microplastics across landscapes during foraging.
Characterization of Microplastics in Bees and Their Products in Urban and Rural Areas of the Sabana De Bogotá, Colombia
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers characterized microplastics in honey bees and their products (honey, wax, propolis) from both urban and rural areas of the Sabana de Bogota, Colombia. Microplastics were found across all matrices and bee types, with urban bees showing higher contamination levels, raising concerns about both pollinator health and honey safety.
