Polystyrene microplastics: environmental presence, pathways, and biological impact
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the environmental presence, transport pathways, and biological impacts of polystyrene microplastics, documenting how widespread food packaging use leads to pervasive contamination of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and raises concerns for organismal and human health.
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.
The Impact of Polystyrene Microplastics in Living Organisms; Environmental and Ecological Concerns
AI summary Read the abstract
This review comprehensively examined the environmental and ecological impacts of polystyrene microplastics, which readily adsorb both organic and inorganic pollutants and carry them into living organisms. Polystyrene is one of the most widely produced plastics globally, and its breakdown into microplastics creates particles that act as vectors for toxic chemicals in ecosystems and potentially in human bodies.
