Plastic pollution is ubiquitous in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. waste exposed to the environment creates problems of significant concern for all life forms. production accumulation natural are occurring at an unprecedented rate due indiscriminate use, inadequate recycling, deposits landfills. In 2019, global plastic was 370 million tons, with only 9% it being recycled, 12% incinerated, remaining left or The leakage wastes into ecosystems rate. management a challenging problem researchers, policymakers, citizens, other stakeholders. Therefore, here, we summarize current understanding concerns plastics (microplastics nanoplastics) on overall goal this review provide background assessment adverse effects ecosystems; interlink sustainable development goals; address policy initiatives under transdisciplinary approaches through cycle assessment, circular economy, sustainability; identify knowledge gaps; recommendations. community involvement socio-economic inputs different countries presented discussed. ban policies public awareness likely major mitigation interventions. need circularity assess potential environmental impacts resources used throughout product’s span emphasized.

Toxicity of Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Mammalian Systems

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 17(5), P. 1509 - 1509

Fragmented or otherwise miniaturized plastic materials in the form of micro- nanoplastics have been nagging environmental concern. Perturbation organismal physiology and behavior by widely documented for marine invertebrates. Some these effects are also manifested larger vertebrates such as fishes. More recently, possible on mammalian gut microbiota well host cellular metabolic toxicity reported mouse models. Human exposure to occurs largely through ingestion, found food derived from packaging, but a less well-defined manner though inhalation. The pathophysiological consequences acute chronic system, particularly humans, yet unclear. In this review, we focus recent findings related potential detrimental demonstrated models human cell lines. prevailing data suggest that accumulation tissues would likely negative, unclear long-term consequences. There is need systemic due be better illuminated, underlying mechanisms defined further work.

Microplastics in the aquatic environment: Evidence for or against adverse impacts and major knowledge gaps

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 37(11), P. 2776 - 2796

Published: Oct. 16, 2018

There is increasing scientific and public concern over the presence of microplastics in natural environment. We present results a systematic review literature to assess weight evidence for causing environmental harm. conclude that do occur surface water sediments. Fragments fibers predominate, with beads making up only small proportion detected microplastic types. Concentrations are orders magnitude lower than those reported affect endpoints such as biochemistry, feeding, reproduction, growth, tissue inflammation mortality organisms. The acting vector hydrophobic organic compounds accumulate organisms also weak. available data therefore suggest these materials not harm is, however, mismatch between particle types, size ranges, concentrations used laboratory tests measured Select compartments have received limited attention. an urgent need studies address this by performing high quality more holistic monitoring alongside environmentally realistic effects studies. Only then will we be able fully characterize risks environment support introduction regulatory controls can make real positive difference quality.
