“…Myocardial fibrosis, characterized by excessive deposition of collagen fibers in the heart muscle, can impair cardiac function and contribute to the development of heart failure [36]. Furthermore, exposure to polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) has been linked to structural abnormalities in cardiac valves, specifically atrioventricular valve defects [43,44]. These defects can disrupt normal blood flow within the heart chambers, leading to functional impairments and potentially predisposing to cardiovascular complications [45].…”

“…Studying NPs presents a multifaceted challenge that demands meticulous attention and innovative solutions [43,44,48]. With plastic production surging to unprecedented levels, concerns regarding environmental contamination and potential health risks have escalated proportionally [43,48]. A primary obstacle in studying NPs lies in their interactions with biological systems and their diverse routes of exposure [43,48].…”

Background Nanoplastics (NPs) have emerged as significant environmental pollutants, raising concerns due to their ubiquitous presence and potential adverse effects on human health. The migration and fate of NPs in the environment are subjects of intense study, with human exposure pathways expanding through ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. Body Studies indicate that NPs can infiltrate the cardiovascular system, potentially causing adverse effects. Mechanistic insights from in vitro and animal studies suggest that oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to nanoplastic-induced cardiovascular toxicity. Animal models demonstrate altered heart rate, myocardial fibrosis, and dysfunction following NPs exposure, with specific adverse effects observed in cardiac valves and mitochondrial structure. Clinical studies provide further evidence of NPs accumulation in cardiovascular tissues, with implications for cardiovascular pathologies such as atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction. Notably, patients with higher levels of nanoplastics in carotid plaque exhibit an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Conclusion However, challenges in studying nanoplastics persist, including methodological limitations, ethical considerations, and the need for standardized detection methods. Addressing these challenges requires interdisciplinary collaboration, innovative research approaches, and robust regulatory measures to mitigate NPs pollution and protect cardiovascular health.

The extensive use of polymeric materials has resulted in significant environmental pollution, prompting the need for a deeper understanding of their degradation processes and impacts. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the degradation of polymeric materials in the environment and their impact on the health of experimental animals. It identifies common polymers, delineates their degradation pathways, and describes the resulting products under different environmental conditions. The review covers physical, chemical, and biological degradation mechanisms, highlighting the complex interplay of factors influencing these processes. Furthermore, it examines the health implications of degradation products, using experimental animals as proxies for assessing potential risks to human health. By synthesizing current research, the review focuses on studies related to small organisms (primarily rodents and invertebrates, supplemented by fish and mollusks) to explore the effects of polymer materials on living organisms and underscores the urgency of developing and implementing effective polymer waste management strategies. These strategies are crucial for mitigating the adverse environmental and health impacts of polymer degradation, thus promoting a more sustainable interaction between human activities and the natural environment.
