Dust is a fate of many contaminants and may be an important medium for the human exposure to these contaminants. Microplastics (MPs) have been observed in dust previous studies. However, mass concentrations dominant MPs risk remain unclear. In this study, indoor outdoor samples were collected from 39 major cities China. The polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polycarbonate (PC) determined through alkali-assisted thermal depolymerization-liquid chromatography-tandem spectrometry, shape component...

Although human exposure to microplastics (MPs) and the health effects thereof are a global concern, little is known about magnitude of exposure. In this study, we quantitatively determined concentrations polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polycarbonate (PC) MPs in three meconium six infant 10 adult feces samples collected from New York State. PET PC were found some (at concentration ranges below limit quantification [<LOQ] 12,000 <LOQ–110 ng/g dry weight, respectively) all stool specimens...

Global marine pollution by microplastics (MPs) has received considerable attention in recent years. Nevertheless, little is known about the occurrence of MPs indoor environments. A novel analytical method was used to quantitatively determine polyethylene terephthalate (PET)- and polycarbonate (PC)- based 286 dust samples collected from 12 countries. PET-based were detected all at concentrations 38-120,000 µg/g (median: 5900 µg/g), whereas PC-based measured <0.11-1700 8.8 µg/g). Significant...

Organic corrosion inhibitors (OCIs), including ultraviolet light filters, are widely used in plastics, rubbers, colorants, and coatings to increase the performance of products. Derivatives benzotriazole (BTR), benzothiazole (BTH), benzophenone (BP) high-production volume OCIs that have been detected environment human tissues. However, knowledge their occurrence indoor environments, as well exposure them, is still lacking. In this study, BTR, BTH, BP 12 derivatives were determined dust for...

Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) in liquid displays (LCDs) may be released into the environment, especially electronic waste (e-waste) recycling industrial parks with a high pollution risk. However, little has been known about environmental release and human exposure to LCMs until now. Herein, total of 45 were detected LCDs commonly used smartphones computers by high-resolution mass spectrometry suspect screening analysis. Fluorinated biphenyls their analogs dominant LCMs. Based on available...

Nanoplastics are more likely to be suspended in air and pose a risk of respiratory exposure. However, the early health effects low-dose nanoplastics on system, which expected reflect atmospheric nanoplastics, need further evaluated. In this study, nanoparticles polyethylene terephthalate, representative plastic polymer air, were prepared by precipitation method. The toxicity impacts nano-PET at environmental concentrations human lung carcinoma cell A549 cells Although was identified enter...

Microplastics (MPs) in soils may be ingested by terrestrial animals. While the application of bioplastics is increasing, ingestion and excretion characteristics bio-MPs animals are poorly understood as compared to fossil-MPs. Here, approach–avoidance behavior adult earthworms Eisenia fetida MP-contaminated soil was assessed. Fossil-based poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) bio-based poly(lactic acid) (PLA) MPs were found preferred earthworms, which might due odor polymer monomers. earthworm...

Micro/nanoplastics have emerged as global contaminants of serious concern to human and ecosystem health. However, identification visualization microplastics particularly nanoplastics remained elusive due the lack feasible reliable analytical approaches, for trace nanoplastics. Here, an efficient surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-active substrate with triangular cavity arrays is reported. The fabricated exhibited high SERS performance standard polystyrene (PS) nanoplastic detection...

Microplastic pollution, an emerging pollution issue, has become a significant environmental concern globally due to its ubiquitous, persistent, complex, toxic, and ever-increasing nature. As multifaceted diverse suite of small plastic particles with different physicochemical properties associated matters such as absorbed chemicals microbes, future research on microplastics will need comprehensively consider their multidimensional attributes. Here, we introduce novel, conceptual framework the...

Aromatic amine antioxidants (AAs), extensively used in rubber products, and their ozone-photolyzed product p-phenylenediamine quinones (PPD-Qs) were found to be pervasive various environments with potential ecological health risks. The relationship between external internal exposure these contaminants risks the general population remain poorly explored. Herein, dust–handwipe–urine samples (n = 97 pairs) from families Tianjin, China was collected for analyzing 20 AAs 6 PPD-Qs (including...
