Abstract

Microplastics are the result of degradation of plastic waste in nature and contain various toxicological effects. It is estimated that humans inhale around 100,000 fine particles of plastic every day. The aim of this research is to determine whether exposure to microplastics in the air has an impact on human lungs. Data search in this study used four electronic databases, namely Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, and PubMed. 15 articles were included for analysis in this systematic review following a screening process of titles, abstract, and full texts that was based on clearly defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Risk assessment to reduce data bias using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tool. Our findings from this systematic review show that airborne microplastic contamination has a negative effect on human lungs. It is recommended that government policies should be formed regarding the use of plastics so as to reduce airborne contamination.

空气中微塑料污染对人体肺部影响的系统综述。

微塑料是自然界塑料废物降解的结果，含有多种毒理学效应。据估计，人类每天吸入大约10万个塑料微粒。这项研究的目的是确定接触空气中的微塑料是否会对人体肺部产生影响。本研究的数据检索使用了Scopus、Web of Science、Science Direct和PubMed四个电子数据库。根据明确定义的纳入和排除标准，对标题、摘要和全文进行筛选，纳入了15篇文章进行系统综述分析。使用JBI关键评估工具进行风险评估以减少数据偏差。我们从这项系统综述中发现，空气中的微塑料污染对人体肺部有负面影响。建议政府应制定有关塑料使用的政策，以减少空气污染。
