TL;DR: Estimated results of ILCR indicate that Isfahan residents are potentially exposed to high cancer risk via both dust ingestion and dermal contact and possible ecological risk reveals that among the analyzed metals, Cd and Pb, have a higher potential ecological risk.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used various microscopic techniques (fluorescence, polarized light, SEM) to quantify and classify microplastics (MPs) and microrubbers (MRs) in urban and industrial environments that are potentially ingestible or inhalable by humans.

TL;DR: Street dust is a potentially important source of microplastic contamination in the urban environment and control measures are required, especially during outdoor activities and workspaces with high abundant microplastics as acute exposure.
Abstract: Environmental pollutants such as microplastics have become a major concern over the last few decades. We investigated the presence, characteristics, and potential health risks of microplastic dust ingestion. The plastic load of 88 to 605 microplastics per 30 g dry dust with a dominance of black and yellow granule microplastics ranging in size from 250 to 500 μm was determined in 10 street dust samples using a binocular microscope. Fluorescence microscopy was found to be ineffective for detecting and counting plastic debris. Scanning electron microscopy, however, was useful for accurate detection of microplastic particles of different sizes, colors, and shapes (e.g., fiber, spherule, hexagonal, irregular polyhedron). Trace amounts of Al, Na, Ca, Mg, and Si, detected using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, revealed additives of plastic polymers or adsorbed debris on microplastic surfaces. As a first step to estimate the adverse health effects of microplastics in street dust, the frequency of microplastic ingestion per day/year via ingestion of street dust was calculated. Considering exposure during outdoor activities and workspaces with high abundant microplastics as acute exposure, a mean of 3223 and 1063 microplastic particles per year is ingested by children and adults, respectively. Consequently, street dust is a potentially important source of microplastic contamination in the urban environment and control measures are required.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that MPs and Hg in all species and Se in benthic species increase with size, while relationship between other metals, and fish size is not consistent, and consumption of high doses of the studied fish may pose a health threat to the consumers.

TL;DR: The remote sensing and image interpretation is universally compatible with any devices to read and is available in the digital library an online access to it is set as public so you can get it instantly.
Abstract: Thank you very much for downloading remote sensing and image interpretation. As you may know, people have look hundreds times for their favorite novels like this remote sensing and image interpretation, but end up in malicious downloads. Rather than reading a good book with a cup of tea in the afternoon, instead they are facing with some malicious virus inside their computer. remote sensing and image interpretation is available in our digital library an online access to it is set as public so you can get it instantly. Our book servers spans in multiple countries, allowing you to get the most less latency time to download any of our books like this one. Merely said, the remote sensing and image interpretation is universally compatible with any devices to read.
