Özet
This cross-sectional study evaluated micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) contamination in 39 ice cream samples from multiple brands and price categories in Türkiye. Samples were purchased in Kastamonu/Merkez during June–August 2024 and analyzed in triplicate (117 filters). Microscopy identified 75 particles in total: filaments 56%, fragments 29%, films 15%. Attenuated Total Reflectance–Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) confirmed synthetic polymers ≥20 μm—predominantly polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), and polyvinyl stearate (PVS)—indicating multiple entry points across processing and packaging. Estimated Daily Intake (EDI) ranged 0.34–2.05 particles mL⁻¹ kg-BW⁻¹ day⁻¹ (124.1–748.25 particles mL⁻¹ kg-BW⁻¹ year-¹) and varied by brand/price strata without statistically significant differences (p>0.05). Although the analytical …
