Investigating impact of physicochemical properties of microplastics on human health: A short bibliometric analysis and review

The deterioration of the ecological situation in Russia and the contamination of environmental objects with various chemical compounds pose a growing threat to human and animal health and the state of the environment. Bee products can carry a potential threat to human health, as bees are in constant and direct contact with the environment. The article presents the results of a study of honey for heavy metals - lead and cadmium. The dependence of the amount of lead in honey from road traffic of highways in the flying radius of bees has been revealed. The direct dependence of the presence of lead in honey, pollution by its exhaust gases of cars from automobile traffic of a highway in the flying radius of bees is proved. A technique has been developed for determining the load of vehicles in the area, expressed in the release of lead into the atmosphere from combustible motor fuel. The organoleptic and physicochemical properties of the honey are determined. The article presents data that proves that the content of heavy metals in honey does not affect its organoleptic and physicochemical properties, but represents a real danger for human health, because heavy metals are cumulated in the body.

Colouring the skin particularly skin of face or lips, is an ancient practice going back to prehistoric times. The use of such coloring products has increased and the choice of shades of colour, texture and luster have changed and become wider. The present study was aimed at formulation and evaluation of a lipstick using herbal colouring agent. Herbal word is a symbol of safety in contrast to synthetic one which can have adverse effects on human health. Various physicochemical properties such as visual inspection, pH, melting point, breaking point, softening point, surface anomalies and solubility were assessed using established techniques. All the parameters were found to be within acceptable limits.

The tremendous increase in the amount of e-waste and its impact on the environment and human health is a concern for the whole world. The low rate of recycling of e-waste as compared to the rate at which e-waste is increasing is a matter of concern and needs immediate action. Negative environmental consequences of e-waste have prompted the interest of both academia and industry alike. The objective of the study is to study the yearly growth pattern for the last 20 years, recognize relevant scholars, and explore collaborations among various institutes, authors, and countries over time. The study also intends to identify any shift in the field of e-waste recycling. So to better understand the development of this field in the past 20 years, its required to study the yearly growth pattern of publication and to identify the relevant collaborations among authors, institutes, and countries that contributed to this field. In line with this, this study is conducted to examine the research landscape of e-waste recycling by using comprehensive bibliometric analysis.

Outdoor Air Quality

Thus, far, in the Environmental Science field, there appears to be only one previous bibliometric analysis of scientific production with regard to exercise and sports practice, performed in indoor environments. This study investigates and analyzes scientific production related to outdoor air quality of environments that are used for exercise and sports practice through a bibliometric analysis. Five databases were searched in March 2020. A bibliometric analysis was performed for authors, institutions and countries, in relation to publication year, language, citations, theme, and analysis of publication keywords. Of the 2401 screened studies, 106 satisfied the inclusion criteria. The first work was published in 1967. A high number of studies (85.8%) were published after 2008. The United States (US) accounted for most of the performed studies, followed by China. The author keywords associated with the words “pollutants”, “human health”, and “exercise/sports” were the most commonly used. A total of 59 journals had been published on this subject, and most of these were in the area of medicine. It was observed that most of this scientific production was developed by researchers from institutions in the US and China. The publications focused on pollutants and subjects related to human health and sports.

Human Health Effects

There is an essential need to use computation-based quantitative structureactivity relationship (QSAR) modeling for providing information about the physicochemical properties of chemicals and their environmental fate as well as their human health effects. The major aims of this paper is to explore ways to predict and to identify hazardous combinations of chemicals relevant to humans and the environment. So we use QSAR modeling for toxicological predictions determine the potential adverse effects of reactive organic compounds in risk assessment.
