Abstract

Although the World Health Organization characterizes a One Health concern as one in which there is the capability to incorporate numerous disciplines to tackle health challenges threatening humans, animals and ecosystems, scientific efforts frequently remain compartmentalized. Here we report an original consortium, TORPP, spanning 16 disciplines, focused on Micro/NanoPlastics (MNPs) pollution as a One Health concern. Whereas the MNP topic has been largely studied in marine ecology, research effort remains scarce in human medicine. Equally, while marine ecology is highly skilled in MNP sampling and characterization, human medicine has developed pathophysiological concepts and tools that can be used more broadly to evaluate the health impact of MNPs. TORPP consortium propose that these strengths and knowledges must be transferred across fields of study to advance our understanding of MNP toxicity to organisms, by uniting integrative approaches (ecological, experimental and clinical) under a common conceptual and analytical framework.

TORPP - 海龟、统一健康研究与塑料污染：评估微/纳米塑料（MNPs）污染对环境和健康影响的多学科联盟

尽管世界卫生组织将 "同一健康关注 "定义为有能力整合众多学科来应对威胁人类、动物和生态系统的健康挑战，但科学工作往往仍然各自为政。在此，我们报告了一个横跨 16 个学科的原创联盟 TORPP，其重点是作为 "一个健康问题 "的微/纳米塑料（MNPs）污染。虽然海洋生态学已对 MNP 课题进行了大量研究，但人类医学方面的研究工作仍然很少。同样，虽然海洋生态学在 MNP 取样和特征描述方面具有很高的技术水平，但人类医学已开发出病理生理学概念和工具，可更广泛地用于评估 MNP 对健康的影响。TORPP 联合体建议，必须在共同的概念和分析框架下将综合方法（生态、实验和临床）结合起来，将这些优势和知识在不同研究领域进行转移，以促进我们对 MNP 生物毒性的了解。
