Since the outbreak of COVID-19, disposable face
masks have been widely implemented as a powerful preventive measure to minimize
the transmission of the virus. Despite its high usage, however, studies on the
effects of disposed face maskes on soil ecosystems are limited. This study aims
to investigate the toxicological effects of microplastics from the masks on Caenorhabditis
elegans (C. elegans)
in soil media. Effects of microplastics from three types of disposable face
masks (KF94 mask, medical mask, and particulate respirator) and a reference material
for polypropylene (PP) on the growth and number of offspring of C. elegans
were assessed. The growth of C. elegans was not influenced by exposure
to the microplastics. On the other hand, significant decreases in the number of
C. elegans offspring were observed under exposure to 0.3%
(microplastic/soil, w/w) microplastics from KF94 mask and particulate
respirator. MS-based metabolomic analysis showed distinct metabolic alterations
between different masks, which could not be detected in the phenotypes. The polyamine
biosynthesis pathway of C. elegans
was commonly affected by both KF94 mask and particulate respirator, but
dissimilar metabolic changes were observed between them. Ultra high resolution MS
of plastic additives in the masks implicated that the differential metabolic
changes could be ascribed to different plastic additives with reproductive
toxicity to C. elegans, such as
phthalates.
