Abstract

Background: Microplastics are widespread in nature and have been detected in various human tissues and organs. They are thought to contribute to the occurrence and development of various diseases.

Objectives: To explore the relationship between microplastic exposure and allergic rhinitis (AR).

Materials and methods: Thirty-three patients with AR and 22 individuals in the control group were included in this study. All the participants completed the total nasal symptom score (TNSS) and nasal irrigation. The nasal irrigation solution was under microplastic analysis.

Results: There were no significant differences in age and gender between the AR group and the control group. A statistically significant difference was noted in the TNSS questionnaire scores between the groups (P < .001). The density of microplastics in individuals with AR was significantly higher than that in the control group (9.96 (7.04-12.19); 7.22 ± 2.63; P = .003).

Conclusions and significance: The concentration of microplastics in the nasal cavities of patients with AR was significantly higher than that in healthy individuals.

微塑料在变应性鼻炎中的初步研究。

背景：微塑料在自然界广泛存在，在人体各种组织和器官中都检测到微塑料。它们被认为是导致各种疾病发生和发展的原因。目的：探讨微塑料暴露与变应性鼻炎（AR）的关系。材料与方法：本研究纳入33例AR患者和22例对照组。所有受试者均完成了鼻症状总评分（TNSS）和鼻腔冲洗。对鼻冲洗液进行微塑性分析。结果：AR组与对照组在年龄、性别上无明显差异。两组间TNSS问卷得分差异有统计学意义（P P = 0.003）。结论与意义：急性鼻炎患者鼻腔内微塑料浓度明显高于健康人群。
