Microplastic Pollution: Threats and Impacts on Global Marine Ecosystems

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(17), P. 13252 - 13252

Published: Sept. 4, 2023

This study investigates the scope of global marine microplastic pollution and its implications on ecosystems human health. We first delve into how plastic enters ocean, with an emphasis accumulation along coastlines, particularly formation impact Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP). Through a concentration map microplastics across five continents, distribution is revealed. Furthermore, effects wildlife are explored, as well their potential entry food chain, posing public health risks. The results our research underscore serious threats to health, emphasizing need for more scientific policy measures address this challenge.

Sources, analysis, and health implications of atmospheric microplastics

Emerging contaminants, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 9(3), P. 100233 - 100233

Published: May 3, 2023

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging environmental contaminants pervasive in the environment. Studies have revealed that majority of airborne MPs form fiber. Inhaled atmospheric adversely impact human health, causing inflammation and oxidative stress. Atmospheric may also carry hazardous chemical pollutants addition to heavy metals. Many research studies been conducted about MPs’ presence components, however questions identification remained unanswered. Based on mentioned gaps, this study examined sources abundance atmosphere their generation, accumulation, fate. The paper further evaluates current methods for identifying assessing health According findings, there flaws complexity assessment technical procedures, which challenges data comparability dependability. In order ensure reliability, needs be expressed using a unified standard methodology. Innovative well-established methods, strategies minimize impacts MPs, appropriate steps reduce global pollution required state MPs. It provides an overview MPs' characteristics, sources, transmission deposition mechanisms. Advances bacterial degradation, sunlight-driven photocatalysts, fuels, biodegradable plastics could revolutionize future reducing plastic pollution. Future should include more various aspects Despite several many regarding from perspectives COVID-19 One Health still need answered. This will help key stakeholders policymakers safeguarding public environment threats posed by
