Deleterious effects of microplastics and nanoplastics on rodent lungs: a systematic review

This systematic review summarizes research on how inhaled micro- and nanoplastics affect the lungs in animal studies. The findings show these particles can cause lung inflammation, tissue damage, and immune responses, suggesting that breathing in airborne microplastics may pose real risks to respiratory health.

Microplastic Pollution in Water and Sediments in a Public Supply Reservoir in Presidente Prudente (SP), Brazil

Researchers surveyed microplastic contamination in a public water supply reservoir in Brazil and identified 663 particles, predominantly fibers, with the most common polymers being PET, polypropylene, and polyethylene. The total estimated microplastic load in the reservoir was approximately 15.7 million particles, with higher concentrations near urbanized areas, suggesting untreated domestic and industrial effluents as primary contamination sources.
