Measurement of microplastic release after use of polypropylene nasal irrigation bottles.
Objectives
Microplastics from plastic materials can affect human health. This study aimed to assess their presence in nasal irrigation fluids obtained from reused bottles based on usage duration.
Methods
Readily available nasal irrigation bottles made of polypropylene were purchased. Unused irrigation bottles served as controls. Bottles mimicking 1-, 3-, and 6-month reuse were prepared as test samples. Nasal irrigation fluid samples (n=12) were collected from each set of irrigation bottles: three from new control bottles and nine from bottles mimicking 1-, 3-, and 6-month reuse. Raman spectroscopy was employed to detect microplastics in the nasal irrigation samples; the results were compared according to the bottle use duration.
Results
An average of 33.00±20.42 (ea/300 mL) microplastic particles was detected in the nasal irrigation fluid from the control bottles relative to an average of 68.66±30.07, 261.66±20.59, and 204.33±52.16 (ea/300 mL) from bottles used for 1, 3, and 6 months, respectively. The majority of the detected microplastics were 10-100 μm in size and fragmentshaped in form. The predominant microplastic was polypropylene, indicating direct release from irrigation bottles.
Conclusion
We found microplastics in nasal irrigation fluids, likely originating from the repeated use of nasal irrigation bottles. The quantity of microplastics was notably elevated in the samples obtained from bottles simulating 3 months of use compared to those in the control samples. Thus, we propose developing guidelines regulating the duration of nasal irrigation bottle usage to mitigate microplastic infiltration into the body through the sinonasal cavity.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology (Clin Exp Otorhinolaryngol, CEO) is an international peer-reviewed journal on recent developments in diagnosis and treatment of otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery and dedicated to the advancement of patient care in ear, nose, throat, head, and neck disorders. This journal publishes original articles relating to both clinical and basic researches, reviews, and clinical trials, encompassing the whole topics of otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery.
CEO was first issued in 2008 and this journal is published in English four times (the last day of February, May, August, and November) per year by the Korean Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. The Journal aims at publishing evidence-based, scientifically written articles from different disciplines of otorhinolaryngology field.
The readership contains clinical/basic research into current practice in otorhinolaryngology, audiology, speech pathology, head and neck oncology, plastic and reconstructive surgery. The readers are otolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons and oncologists, audiologists, and speech pathologists.
