Raman Microspectroscopy Detection and Characterisation of Microplastics in Human Breastmilk
Polymers, 2022 The widespread use of plastics determines the inevitable human exposure to its by-products, including microplastics (MPs), which enter the human organism mainly by ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact.

Wastewater treatment alters microbial colonization of microplastics.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Microplastics are ubiquitous contaminants in aquatic habitats globally, and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are point sources of microplastics. Within aquatic habitats microplastics are colonized by microbial biofilms, which can include pathogenic ...

Effects of Microplastics on Fish and in Human Health
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Microplastics (MPs) are regarded as a global issue due to their toxicity effects on fish and humans. Fish is a vital origin of human protein, which is necessary for body growth.

Microplastics on Beaches in the Nautla-Vega de Alatorre Turtle Nesting Area, Veracruz
Microplastics, 2023 The low cost of production and the widespread use of plastics has brought about a problem that is difficult to measure; microplastics are considered emerging pollutants because their presence can pose a risk to the environment.

Impact of Degradation of Polyethylene Particles on Their Cytotoxicity
Microplastics, 2023 Microplastics are ubiquitous in the environment, including in the ocean, soil, and air. Therefore, there are concerns regarding human exposure. Since it is known that the surface of microplastics in various environments is chemically deteriorated by ...
