ABSTRACT
Keywords: Contaminant; cosmetics; environment; microplastic;
personal care products
ABSTRAK
Mikroplastik ialah
pencemar alam sekitar dan lebih membimbangkan apabila ia digunakan dalam jumlah
yang besar di dalam kosmetik dan produk penjagaan diri. Ini mengakibatkan
pelepasan mikroplastik ke alam sekitar secara berterusan dan ia memberi
implikasi yang serius terhadap ekosistem dan kesihatan manusia. Sorotan kajian
dijalankan di Medline, Mendeley, Science Direct dan Scopus, dengan mengumpulkan
artikel yang berkaitan dari tahun 2014-2021. Jenis mikroplastik yang biasa
digunakan dalam produk ini ialah polietilena (PE), polipropilena (PP),
polietilena tereftalat (PET) dan poli (metil metakrilat) (PMMA). Ia biasanya
merupakan bahan tambah dalam ubat gigi, gel mandian, syampu, krim, pembayang
mata, deodoran, serbuk pemerah pipi, asas solekan dan krim kulit sebagai
pengelupas, pengemulsi, agen pengikat, agen pelegap, agen anti statik dan agen
pembentuk filem. Mikroplastik boleh menyebabkan tumbesaran terbantut,
ketidaksuburan dan kadar kelangsungan hidup yang rendah pada hidupan akuatik
dan ia juga telah dikaitkan dengan obesiti, ketidaksuburan, kanser dan diabetes
pada manusia. Banyak syarikat besar seperti
Unilever dan L'Oréal yang telah mengeluarkan mikroplastik daripada produk mereka atau
menggunakan alternatif seperti kitin, mikromanik berasaskan selulosa dan
plastik berasaskan bio. Maklumat tentang kesan jangka panjang mikroplastik
terhadap manusia masih terhad. Kesesuaian bahan menggantikan mikroplastik dan
keberkesanan kempen dan peraturan yang dilaksanakan tidak dinilai sepenuhnya.
Jurang penyelidikan yang dikenal pasti ini berguna untuk penyelidik lain
meneroka lebih lanjut mengenai subjek ini.

kunci: Alam sekitar; kosmetik; mikroplastik; pencemar; produk penjagaan diri
