Public Awareness Of Plastic Pollution And Perceived Risks To Human Health.
This study aims to assess public awareness of plastic pollution and its health impacts by surveying urban and semi-urban communities about their plastic use habits and self-reported health outcomes. Researchers plan to compare families using plastic food-contact materials with those using non-plastic alternatives to identify gaps in awareness and potential health differences linked to everyday plastic exposure.
A systematic review of microplastics perception and its factors: Implications on SDGs
This systematic review examines public awareness and understanding of microplastic pollution around the world. The findings show that gender and education level are key factors in how people perceive microplastic risks, and that more research is needed on how awareness translates into behavior changes that could reduce plastic pollution and its health impacts.
Exploring semantic connections through a thesaurus in the earth observation domain
This paper describes the development of a specialized thesaurus for the Earth Observation domain that links environmental contaminant terminology with their potential health effects, facilitating communication between environmental scientists and public health professionals. Better shared vocabulary can help bridge research and policy on environmental pollution including microplastics.
Knowledge, Attitude and Performance (KAP) of People regarding Microplastics as a New Health Problem in Kerman, Iran
A knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) survey was conducted among 500 residents of Kerman, Iran, to assess public awareness and behavior regarding microplastics as an emerging health concern. Results revealed significant gaps in knowledge about microplastic sources and health risks, and a disconnect between attitude and protective behavior, informing public health communication priorities.
Survey instructions bias perceptions of environmental health risks
This study found that the framing and instructions used in environmental health risk surveys significantly bias how respondents perceive and rank risks, with implications for how governments measure and respond to public risk perceptions.
Self-rated health and perceived environmental quality in Brunei Darussalam: a cross-sectional study
Researchers found in a cross-sectional study in Brunei Darussalam that perceived environmental quality is associated with self-rated health, but that regular physical exercise may partially offset the negative health effects of poor environmental conditions.
Exploring the microplastics health impacts risk perception in Iranian people: Challenges and improvement strategies
Researchers surveyed Iranians to assess their awareness and risk perception of microplastic health hazards, finding significant gaps in public understanding despite growing environmental contamination. The study proposes strategies spanning individual behavior, community education, and national policy to improve microplastic risk management.
Analysis of Factors Influencing Acceptability of Microplastic Regulation: Intrinsic Factors and Trust in Government
Researchers analyzed factors influencing public acceptability of microplastic regulations in South Korea using a national survey and hierarchical regression, finding that environmental risk perception, policy effectiveness beliefs, and knowledge positively predicted regulatory acceptance. Government trust was found to moderate the relationship between policy effectiveness perceptions and acceptability, especially when regulations carried financial costs.
Novel concept for the healthy population influencing factors
This paper introduced a novel conceptual framework for identifying the factors that influence population health, integrating environmental, behavioral, and socioeconomic determinants. The framework is proposed as a tool for public health planning and health impact assessment.
Assessment on the Environmental Concern Level and Driving Mechanism of Beach Recreationists Based on the New Ecological Paradigm Scale
