Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, research on the health risks of the combined effects of microplastics and environmental pollutants is mostly focused on the assessment of terminal toxicity, and there is little evaluation of the content of organic pollutants adsorbed on microplastics. It is still only at the level of the toxicity of microplastics themselves, so there is no systematic quantitative analysis of the amount of pollutants adsorbed on microplastics entering the organism, and it is impossible to know that the pollutants adsorbed on microplastics are mainly in mammals. The accumulation and distribution rules in organs bring many uncertainties to the later toxicity assessment of the combined effects of microplastics and pollutants
[0004] Although there are many methods to detect the content of phthalates in environmental samples (water, soil and atmospheric particles), so far there is a lack of a complete method to evaluate microplastics as new environmental carriers carrying phthalates. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an easy-to-operate, high-accuracy quantitative analysis of the content of environmental pollutants adsorbed on microplastics and the pollutants adsorbed on microplastics into organisms. The method of distribution and enrichment law is particularly important

Abstract

The invention provides a method of analyzing the enriching content of micro-plastic-carried phthalate compounds in a living body and belongs to the field of environmental health risk assessment. The method comprises the following steps of: selecting different micro-plastics to be combined with different phthalate compounds; detecting the content of the phthalate compounds adsorbed by the micro-plastics; separating the micro-plastics; selecting a mode animal for a gavage experiment; dissecting the mode animal to collect main organs such as liver, kidneys and small intestine; freezing and drying the tissues; extracting a certain mass of lyophilized tissues with an organic solution; and detecting the content of organic pollutants entering the tissues by means of a gas chromatography-mass spectrum coupling technique (GC-MS). The method provided by the invention can accurately and quantitatively the content of the phthalate compounds adsorbed on the micro-plastics and the content of the phthalate compounds adsorbed on the micro-plastics entering the tissues and organs of the living body.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of environmental health risk assessment, and more specifically relates to a method for analyzing the enrichment content of phthalate compounds carried by microplastics in organisms. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the problem of microplastic pollution has received more and more attention, and more and more microplastics have been detected in environmental media. At the same time, numerous scientific studies have shown that microplastics can be ingested by organisms of different nutritional levels and remain in the body for different periods of time. When these microplastics are ingested by organisms, they will cause many health risks. Studies have shown that ingestion of microplastics in mussels can cause oxidative stress in organisms and reduce reproductive capacity; ingestion of microplastics in zebrafish can cause liver metabolic damage; ingestion of crucian carp Microplastics can cause neurological...
