Large-scale plastic pollution occurs in terrestrial and marine environments degrades into microparticles (MP) nanoparticles (NP) of plastic. Micro/nanoplastics (MP/NPs) are found throughout the environment different kinds organisms can enter human body through inhalation or ingestion, particularly food chain. MPs/NPs organisms, affect systems, including reproductive, digestive, nervous systems via induction stresses such as oxidative stress endoplasmic reticulum stress. This paper summarizes effects sizes on reproduction invertebrates vertebrates, amplification toxic between them chain, serious threat to biodiversity, and, more importantly, imminent challenge reproductive health.

Abstract Insects damaging and penetrating plastic packaged materials has been reported since the 1950s. Radical innovation breakthroughs of biodegradation have initiated discovery plastics by Tenebrio molitor larvae in 2015 followed Galleria mellonella 2017. Here we review updated studies on insect-mediated plastics. Plastic insect larvae, mainly some species darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae) pyralid moths (Pyralidae) is currently a highly active potentially transformative area research. Over past eight years, publications increased explosively, including discoveries ability different to biodegrade plastics, performance, contribution host microbiomes, impacts polymer types their physic-chemical properties, responsible enzymes secreted gut microbes. To date, almost all major polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), terephthalate (PET), polyurethane (PUR), polystyrene (PS) can be biodegraded T. ten other representing Tenebrionidae Pyralidae families. The processes are symbiotic reactions or performed synergistic efforts both gut-microbes rapidly depolymerize with hourly half-lives. digestive ezymens bioreagents screted insects play an essential role plasatic certain New research itself, transcriptomes, proteomes metabolomes evaluated mechanisms insects.

Generation and Fate of Nanoplastics in the Intestine of Plastic-Degrading Insect (Tenebrio molitor Larvae) during Polystyrene Microplastic Biodegradation

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 58(23), P. 10368 - 10377

Published: May 30, 2024

The insect Tenebrio molitor exhibits ultrafast efficiency in biodegrading polystyrene (PS). However, the generation and fate of nanoplastics (NPs) intestine during plastic biodegradation remain unknown. In this study, we investigated PS microplastics (MPs) mediated by T. larvae over a 4-week period confirmed analyzing Δδ13C before after biotreatment (−28.37‰ versus −24.88‰) as an effective tool. ·OH radicals, primarily contributed gut microbiota, H2O2, produced host, both increased MP digestion. size distribution residual particles excrements fluctuated within micrometer ranges. NPs were detected but not excrements. At end Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, concentrations tissues 3.778, 2.505, 2.087, 2.853 ng/lava, respectively, while glands quantified at 0.636, 0.284, 0.113 ng/lava eventually fell below detection limit. remained limit 5 6. This indicates that initially, generated entered glands, then declined gradually disappeared or possibly biodegraded Week associated with elevated plastic-degrading capacities larvae. Our findings unveil rapid synergistic larval host well NPs, providing new insights into risks invertebrate-mediated biodegradation.

Plastic pollution and infectious diseases

The versatility and resistance of plastic allowed for its massive use during the second half 20th century.

Although several studies have pointed out effect microplastic nanoplastic pollution on global health, few focused macroplastics proliferation propagation infectious diseases human livestock health. debris that holds water can encourage arthropod-borne disease by providing a habitat some vectors' immature stages shelter to anthropophilic medically important species, potentially increasing local vector populations with implications burden.

Here we fed Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (L.) and albopictus (Skuse) mosquito larvae 1 µm polystyrene MPs examined the impacts of on adult emergence rates, gut damage, fungal bacterial microbiota. Results show that accumulate in larval guts, resulting damage. However, impact rates was observed. also found guts postemergence from pupal stage, adults expel frass obtaining sugar meals. Moreover, insect microbiomes need to be better defined. To address this knowledge gap, investigated relationship between MP microbial communities Ae. aegypti.
