Global contamination of the marine environment by plastics has led to the discovery of microplastics in various marine species, including those for human consumption. Depuration reduces the concentration of microplastics and in turn, reduces human exposure to microplastics that enter the human body. This study looked at the effectiveness of microplastic depuration on Pilsbryoconcha exilis using a natural adsorbent from banana peel. An investigation was also conducted on effectiveness by time variation to determine the most viable depuration time. A completely randomised design was employed with two repetitions of mussel treatment for durations of 12, 24, and 36 h. The results showed that the effectiveness of depuration by time variation was fluctuating. The most effective depuration time was 12 h. The highest average concentration of microplastics, 0.555 MPs∙ind-1, occurred after 24 h of depuration, while the lowest, 0.370 MPs∙ind-1, did after 12 h of depuration. Dry banana peel as a depuration adsorbent was proven to reduce the number of microplastics. More research is needed on depuration and the most effective types of adsorbents. Research like this will help many people reduce the quantity of microplastics that enter the body.

Green supply chain management (GSCM) has gained increasing attention as a strategy to minimize the environmental impact of healthcare supply chains. The healthcare sector is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions and medical waste, making sustainability a critical concern. Despite growing research on GSCM, a comprehensive understanding of its research trends and emerging areas in healthcare remains limited. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of GSCM research in the healthcare sector, identifying key trends, influential authors, research collaborations, and emerging themes to provide insights into its development and future directions. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Scopus database, covering publications from 2002 to 2024. Data cleaning was performed using OpenRefine, and visualization was carried out with VOSviewer and R Studio. The analysis included annual publication trends, geographical distribution, journal and author impact, keyword mapping, and research clusters. A total of 158 publications were identified, showing an average annual growth of 5.76%. The most active contributing countries were India, Iran, China, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Keyword analysis revealed four main research clusters, including sustainability and supply chain management, environmental impact and decision-making, healthcare applications of GSCM, and blockchain and digital innovations in healthcare supply chains. The findings highlight the growing importance of GSCM in the healthcare sector and the increasing role of digital innovations. Future research should focus on technology-driven solutions, policy frameworks, and optimization strategies to enhance sustainability in healthcare supply chains. These insights are valuable for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in developing more efficient and environmentally responsible healthcare supply chains.

The variety of physical and chemical characteristics of microplastics in the environment has caused little research on assessing the health risks from exposure to microplastics. This article aims to review the steps for health risk assessment analysis of human health exposure to microplastics through the consumption of marine biota and provide an explanation of the extent to which health risk assessment research has been conducted. Article searches for this systematic review were conducted in three electronic databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. The search term used was “health risk assessment for microplastics exposure” with three criteria: free full text, research article, and publication published in the years 2019−2023. Data base management was performed using Mendeley Desktop 1.19.8 and the articles were then analyzed bibliometrically using VOSviewer. A total of 203 articles were retrieved from the databases and 7 articles were eligible for the literature review. Risk assessments have not been widely conducted using health risk analysis procedures because there is no standard assessment of microplastic concentrations in biota. In addition, there is no specific reference dose for each microplastic polymer and the variety of physical characteristics, such as shape, color and size of microplastics, make it difficult to assess actual ingestion. A generally applicable approach to assessing human exposure to microplastics is needed. The approach should include a representative sampling procedure in the environment, a method to identify and calculate microplastic concentrations, a real-time ingestion assessment, and an assessment of specific health effects based on microplastic polymers.

Coastal areas face greater risk in terms of health and the environment. They are the most vulnerable to impacts resulting from climate change. Coastal areas with higher population density also have more environmental problems, such as natural disasters. Environmental health risks from chemicals and microbes continue threatening people living on small islands. Therefore, this study aims to: 1) conduct a chemical risk analysis of heavy metals Pb, Cr(VI), and Ni; 2) analyse the microbial risk posed by drinking water consumed daily by people on small islands. A method used to analyse the chemical risk of heavy metals was the environment health risk assessment (EHRA), whereas to analyse the microbial risk in small islands, the quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) was used. The results showed that the concentration of heavy metals in drinking water was <0.0012 mg∙dm-3 for Pb, <0.01 mg∙dm-3 for Cr(VI), and <0.0019 mg∙dm-3 for Ni. The three heavy metals showed worrying results. Assessment and obtained risk quotient were less than one (RQ < 1) in all samples. Meanwhile, the microbial analysis found Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Enterobacter sp., and Citrobacter sp., with risk characterised from low to high. Risk management is needed to control environmental health risks posed by heavy metals and the microbiological characteristics of drinking water on the small islands of the Spermonde Archipelago.
