Abstract

This rapid systematic review aims to summarize studies of human exposure to microplastics (MPs) and their health effects. For the systematic literature review, we separately searched for review articles and original articles published from 2000 to 2019 in the PubMed, NDSL, KMBASE, and Cochrane databases. A total of 276 review articles and 475 original articles were independently evaluated and eligibility of each article was assessed by two researchers. Finally, 8 review articles and 13 original articles were selected for analysis. There was no standardized methodology for determining human exposure to MPs. Therefore, the size, shape, color, and chemical composition of MPs were considered as factors that affected human exposure to MP. We ascertained that human exposure to MPs occurs through two major routes: inhalation and ingestion. The general population can be exposed to MPs through the food chain, food, and mineral water. Thus, there are multiple scenarios for the exposure process. The only exposure marker in humans is the detection and measurement of MPs in feces. Health effects of human exposure to MPs include respiratory effects from inhalation, digestive effects from ingestion, oxidative stress, and cancer. However, there are few studies of the effects of MP exposure in the general population. Based on a systematic review, we propose a standardized methodology to identify various exposure scenarios to facilitate studies of human exposure to MPs and their health effects.

人类接触微塑料评估及其健康影响的研究现状:快速系统综述。
这篇快速系统综述旨在总结人类接触微塑料及其健康影响的研究。对于系统的文献综述,我们分别在PubMed、NDSL、KMBASE和Cochrane数据库中搜索了2000年至2019年发表的综述文章和原创文章。共有276篇综述文章和475篇原创文章进行了独立评估,每篇文章的合格性由两名研究人员进行评估。最后,选取8篇综述文章和13篇原创文章进行分析。没有标准化的方法来确定人类接触MPs的情况。因此,MP的大小、形状、颜色和化学成分被认为是影响人类接触MP的因素。我们确定人类接触MP主要通过两种途径发生:吸入和摄入。普通人群可以通过食物链、食物和矿泉水接触MP。因此,暴露过程有多种情况。人类唯一的暴露标志是检测和测量粪便中的MPs。人类接触MP对健康的影响包括吸入对呼吸的影响、摄入对消化的影响、氧化应激和癌症。然而,很少有研究表明MP暴露对普通人群的影响。在系统综述的基础上,我们提出了一种标准化的方法来确定各种接触场景,以促进对人类接触MP及其健康影响的研究。
