Review on COVID-19 biomedical waste-derived microplastic toxicity Microplastics Toxicity COVID19 SARSCoV2 BiomedicalWaste
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaOct 11 2022Reviewed by Aimee Molineux In a recent review published in Environmental Research, researchers reviewed existing literature on the biomedical waste source, elements, and the recent upsurge of microplastics during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic, as well as MP accumulation effects on aquatic and terrestrial organisms and human health.
BW sources, elements, and transformation BW during COVID-19 comprises PPE equipment , pharmaceutical waste and general waste . Air may contain pathogenic bacteria, dioxin and furan , particulate matter, metals, acid gases, oxides of nitrogen, and sulfur. The polymers eventually convert into MP monomers by biological , or non-biological processes.
Health implications and biomarkers of MP accumulation in humans MPs pose a severe threat to human health. MPs could enter the human body indirectly from terrestrial and aquatic organisms and accumulate in human tissues, leading to reactive oxygen species generation and increased oxidative stress.
