Ecotoxicological perspectives of microplastic pollution in amphibians

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health Part B, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 25(8), P. 405 - 421

Microplastics (MPs) are contaminants widely distributed in the environment and biota. Previously, most studies focused on identifying characterizing microplastics marine environment, while their impact freshwater ecosystems remains to be determined. This review summarizes recent findings regarding MPs physiological, immunological, genetic effects amphibians based upon biological relevance of this species as indicators pollution. Data demonstrated that contamination may potentially alter various physiological processes aquatic animals, mainly embryonic stages. It is worthwhile noting adverse might enhanced synergy with other pollutants. However, counteract effect pollutants through microbiota present both intestine skin. In addition, amphibian microbial composition also altered by themselves a manner leads unpredicted health consequences amphibians.

Microplastics Occurrence in the European Common Frog (Rana temporaria) from Cottian Alps (Northwest Italy)

Microplastics (MPs) pollution is arousing growing attention, yet knowledge about its occurrence in amphibians scant to date. With this study, we aimed determine whether plastic (>5000 μm) and MPs (10–5000 could be detected adult Rana temporaria from a high-mountain ecosystem (the Cottian Alps, northwest Italy). To do this, aquatic compartments the digestive tract of R. were analyzed. Water, sediment, periphyton, macroinvertebrates, tadpoles tested negative for MPs. all frogs (n = 5); identified items (one per specimen) fibers (size range: 550.91–2355.51 µm). A statistically significant positive correlation between particle length frog size was recorded. The predominant fiber color blue. chemical composition polyamide (60%), polyethylene (20%), terephthalate (20%). Since both biotic abiotic freshwater (tadpoles included) revealed absence MPs, it can assumed that ingest surrounding terrestrial environment.

Variation in microplastic characteristics among amphibian larvae: a comparative study across different species and the influence of human activity

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: June 12, 2024

Abstract Microplastic pollution is a significant global environmental issue, and impacts span from individual organisms to the entire ecosystems. This study investigated properties of microplastics in amphibian larvae, shedding light on their interactions potential ecological consequences. We examined extracted larvae 10 taxa, sampled sites experiencing different levels human impact. Our findings revealed predominance blue fibres, each comprising 53% total larvae. fibres were also notably longer than other morphological types microplastics. Furthermore, we observed variations surface area among families. An interesting observation our research apparent positive relationship between size length granular flake-shaped Conversely, negative these These insights significantly contribute understanding microplastic freshwater environments, highlighting its complexities beyond marine emphasises intricate relationships organisms, underscoring need for comprehensive strategies mitigate pollution.
