Abstract Microplastics, which are microscopic plastic particles smaller than five millimetres, have become a common global pollution in marine environments. These particles, come from variety of sources such as the decomposition bigger objects and microfibres that shed textiles, extremely dangerous to ecosystems life. This study provides detailed analysis issue microplastic pollution, including its origins, effects on ecosystems, current mitigation techniques, future research prospects. The review divides microplastics into main secondary categories, detailing their ranging pellets microbeads breakdown items bottles bags. It emphasises negative impacts species, aquaculture, human health, gastrointestinal obstructions, toxic chemical accumulation, cancer risk health. also examines economic environmental consequences highlighting importance effective policies remedies. Furthermore, article covers several researches contamination coastal sediments, seafood, aquatic creatures diverse locales. addresses methods for collecting, extracting, analysing microplastics, well advances machine learning spectroscopic techniques precise identification measurement. summarises ecological hazards presented by movement patterns, accumulation possible long‐term effects. problems limitations existing research, need consistent data collection processes, better knowledge behaviour various settings, development novel mitigating solutions. Overall, this gives an in‐depth summary state contamination, emphasising critical more legislative interventions, public awareness campaigns ameliorate

The increase of micro- and nano-plastics (MNPs) in aquatic environments has become a significant concern due to their potential toxicological effects on ecosystems, food web dynamics, human health. These plastic particles emerge from range sources, such as the breakdown larger waste, consumer products, industrial outputs. This review provides detailed report transmission dangers MNPs environmental behavior, interactions within webs, emphasizing toxic impact marine life. It explores relationship between particle size toxicity, distribution different tissues, process trophic transfer through web. MNPs, once consumed, can be found various organs, including digestive system, gills, liver. Their consumption by lower level organisms facilitates progression up chain, potentially leading bioaccumulation biomagnification, thereby posing substantial risks health, reproduction, behavior species. work also how persistence bioaccumulation, pose biodiversity disrupt relationships. addresses implications for particularly contaminated seafood, highlighting direct indirect pathways which humans are exposed these pollutants. Furthermore, highlights recommendations future research directions, integration ecological, toxicological, health studies inform risk assessments develop mitigation strategies address global challenge pollution environments.

Every year, the global production of plastic waste reaches a staggering 400 million metric tons (Mt), precipitating adverse consequences for environment, food safety, and biodiversity as it degrades into microplastics (MPs). The multifaceted nature MP pollution, coupled with its intricate physiological impacts, underscores pressing need comprehensive policies legislative frameworks. Such measures, alongside advancements in technology, hold promise averting ecological catastrophe oceans. Mandated legislation represents pivotal step towards restoring oceanic health securing well-being planet. This work offers an overview policy hurdles, initiatives, prospective strategies addressing pollution due to MP. Additionally, this explores innovative approaches that yield fresh insights combating across various sectors. Emphasizing importance plastics treaty, article potential galvanize collaborative efforts mitigating pollution's deleterious effects on marine ecosystems. Successful implementation such treaty could revolutionize economy, steering circular, less polluting model operating within planetary boundaries. Failure act decisively risks exacerbating scourge attendant repercussions both humanity environment. Central endeavor are formulation, content, execution itself, which demand careful consideration. While recognizing is not panacea, serves mechanism enhancing governance elevating ambitions achieving zero by 2040. Adopting life cycle approach management allows nuanced understanding possible trade-offs between environmental impact economic growth, guiding selection optimal solutions socio-economic implications mind. By embracing strategy integrates measures technological innovations, we can substantially reduce influx litter at sources, safeguarding oceans future generations.
