Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Atheromas and Cardiovascular Events.
New England Journal of MedicineBACKGROUND Microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging as a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease in preclinical studies. Direct evidence that this risk extends to humans is lacking.

Human ingestion of microplastics (MPs) is inevitable due to the ubiquity of MPs in various foods and drinking water. Whether the ingestion of MPs poses a substantial risk to human health is far from understood.

Microplasticity in Elgiloy [PDF]
Journal of Materials Science, 1985 The room temperature microstrain characteristics of Elgiloy (composition in wt%, 40 Co, 20 Cr, 15 Ni, 7 Mo, 2 Mn, 0.1 C, balance Fe) have been determined for a range of microstructures corresponding to various alloy treatments reported previously. The friction stress was found to be constant (σ F=12±3 MN m−2) for the solution treated (after prestrain),

Microplastic debris in sandhoppers
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2013Adults of the sandhopper Talitrus saltator were fed with dry fish food mixed with polyethylene microspheres (diameter 10-45 mu m). Observations of homogenized guts revealed the presence of microspheres independently of their dimensions. The gut resident time (GRT) was recorded and most of the microspheres are expelled in 24 h.

Microplastics in freshwater environments
2023Plastic pollution in aquatic environments is a recognized environmental threat on a global scale and is fed by the linear economy model of "make-use-dispose," which underpins both the fossil fuel and plastic industries. This chapter examines the issue of microplastic pollution in different freshwater environments: (i) rivers and tributaries, (ii) lakes,

Microplastics on the Portuguese coast
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2018Marine anthropogenic litter was analysed in eleven beaches along the Portuguese coast, over a two-year period (2011-2013). Of all collected items, 99% were plastic and 68% were microplastics (MP; 1-5 mm in diameter). Higher MP concentrations were found in winter/autumn, near industrial areas and/or port facilities and in beaches exposed to dominant ...

Microplastics as vectors of contaminants
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019Pollution by microplastics and antibiotics is an emerging environmental, human and animal health threat. In spite of several studies documenting the widespread occurrence of plastic debris in aquatic ecosystems, research focusing on occurrence and concentration of biological and chemical contaminants attached on microplastic surface as well as on ...

Feeding infants with formula requires heating water and bottles for sterilization and formula preparation. Plastic infant feeding bottles are commonly used, and now their potential to release microplastics has been explored at a global scale.
