Plastics, long-chain artificial polymers, are used worldwide with a global production of 350 million tonnes per year. Various degradation processes transform plastics into smaller fragments divided micro, meso and macroplastics. In various industries, such as construction, certain plastic additives to improve flexibility enhance performance. Plastic include phthalates (PAE), dibutyl phthalate (DPB) diethyl (DEP). Due the use additives, these small different shapes colours present in all environmental compartments. For their characteristics, PAEs can be introduced particularly by ingestion, inhalation dermal absorption. They accumulate human body, where they have already been identified blood, amniotic fluid urine. The purpose this review is gather effects that on systems body. Being endocrine disruptors, erythrocytes how considered targets for xenobiotics analysed. influence reproductive system was also examined. Phthalates therefore often overused. properties, reach tissues negative impact health. aim give an overview presence hazards. Therefore, should reduced, replaced disposal improved.

Caffeine (Caff) is one of the most widely used substances in human diet and a well-recognized drug. Its input into surface waters remarkable, but biological effects on aquatic organisms are unclear, particularly combination with pollutants suspected modulatory activity, like microplastics (MP). The aim this study was to reveal impact marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamark, 1819) Caff (20.0 μg L-1) environmentally relevant (Mix) MP 1 mg L-1 (size 35-50 μm) after exposure for 14 days.

Microplastic pollution has become pervasive. Identifying a bioindicator species to track the occurrence and effects of microplastics (MPs) on ecosystems is crucial for determining their impact environment.

Microplastics (MPs), which are small plastic particles measuring less than 5 mm in size, have emerged as a significant environmental concern marine ecosystems worldwide. The presence of MPs aquatic environments has increased due to the contributions from anthropogenic and terrestrial sources, raising concerns about their abundance organisms. primarily originate photo-degradation larger debris (macroplastics), with release into environment often occurring through breakdown additive compounds. ingestion poses eco-toxicological risks organisms, causing damage gastrointestinal (GI) tracts stomachs affected Approximately 80 % can be classified either primary such those generated during production skincare products, tires, use carriers for pharmaceutical or secondary sources resulting improper disposal plastics near coastal areas water bodies. issue potential effects on ecosystem demands attention. In conclusion, this review provides comprehensive overview vulnerability microplastics environments, consolidating current understanding distribution, fate, ecological impacts.

Due to their uncontrolled use, plastics has become an environmental concern, not only for varying dimension but also the potential release of substances such as phthalates (PAEs) and non-phthalates (NPPs) into water. Phthalates are most common plasticizers non-phthalate di (2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DEHT) have been lately found in marine environment. Mytilus galloprovincialis is a well-known bioindicator aquatic environments due its ability accumulate wide variety xenobiotics, including plasticizers. Hence, aim this study was evaluate bioaccumulation effects NPP DEHT on M. galloprovincialis. To purpose, following exposure at 1 mg/l (DEHT1) 100 (DEHT100), accumulation tissues total lipids fatty acid (FA) composition, protein content, cell viability, recover volume changes biomarkers oxidative stress were assessed. Mussels able bioaccumulate tissues, with statistically significant increase compared control organisms. Differences FA composition observed after exposure, since C16:0, C18:0, C20:5ω-3 C22:6ω-3 significantly decreased from exposed groups. As result, SFA, MUFA PUFA affected DEHT-exposed Also, varied DEHT100-group. Considering physiological responses, both groups lost return original digestive gland (DG) cells. On other hand, gills DG by exposure. Overall, showed first time that differentially affect mussels, lipid metabolism, well cellular parameters.
