Plastic pollution has become a major global concern, posing numerous challenges for the environment and wildlife. Most conventional ways of plastics degradation are inefficient cause great damage to ecosystems. The development biodegradable offers promising solution waste management. These designed break down under various conditions, opening up new possibilities mitigate negative impact traditional plastics. Microbes, including bacteria fungi, play crucial role in bioplastics by producing secreting extracellular enzymes, such as cutinase, lipases, proteases. However, these microbial enzymes sensitive extreme environmental temperature acidity, affecting their functions stability. To address challenges, scientists have employed protein engineering immobilization techniques enhance enzyme stability predict structures. Strategies improving substrate interaction, increasing thermostability, reinforcing bonding between active site substrate, refining activity being utilized boost functionality. Recently, bioengineering through gene cloning expression potential microorganisms, revolutionized biodegradation bioplastics. This review aimed discuss most recent strategies modifying bioplastic-degrading terms functionality, thermostability enhancement, binding site, with other improvement surface action. Additionally, discovered exoenzymes metagenomics were emphasized.

Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic debris, smaller than <5 mm, are viewed persistent contaminants that significantly modify terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity by altering soil microbiota, structure, functions. This paper summarizes MPs' interactions with various pollutants, including heavy metals pesticides, also addressing socio-economic impacts, such reduced agricultural yields threats to regional fisheries. The study emphasizes the need for an on basis of waste management model mitigate these effects, advocating collaborative efforts among stakeholders. Also, interdisciplinary studies incorporating material sciences, ecology, environmental policy essential confront challenges MPs ecological services. Additionally, review highlights how can serve vectors toxins damage health species survival. overview underscores a complex interplay between systems, urgency harnessing pollution protecting ecosystem integrity sustainability.

The textile industry consumes large volumes of freshwater, producing enormous wastewater containing chemicals from dyeing and bathing, but also microplastics concentrations that have not been deeply studied. Liquid wastes the synthetic natural manufacturers were treated with a new disruptive technology (Adiabatic Sonic Evaporation Crystallization, ASEC), which completely removed contaminants water, providing distilled water crystallized solids. current study presents characterization industrial residues obtained by-products: organic matter contained in solid residue analyzed characterized through chromatography. results analyses displayed compounds such as benzene, benzoic acid 2,4-dymethyl-1-heptene found samples degraded polyester polypropylene. Meanwhile, polyester, nylon PMM polymer. After depuration samples, retained phase, together (sulfate surfactants) resulting on clean water. This is first focused generated by their prevention removing them waste.

The harmful environmental impact of plastic waste has justifiably received substantial attention from the scientific community. In contrast, toxicological effects nanoplastics (NP) on aquatic organisms, as well potential implications for human health, remain largely unexplored and poorly understood. Despite growing awareness pollution, risks associated with ubiquitous presence in our food beverages are not yet fully recognized. NPs, which smaller than 1 µm, along a mixture MPs fragments, can find their way into water bodies through various sources may easily be taken up by organisms. This paper summarizes existing literature NPs bioavailability, accumulation patterns within tissues fish, shellfish, zooplankton, influence biological factors absorption diet. Study indicated that pose significant to both ecosystems health due ability bioaccumulate marine organisms biomagnify web. It highlighted species ingest leading distribution across different tissues, result toxic such oxidative stress, DNA damage, inflammation, impacts growth reproduction. identified critical gaps current research, particularly regarding long-term low-dose NP exposure need standardized testing methodologies ensure comparability studies. Furthermore, necessity further research understand pathways humans exposed toxicokinetics, chronic issues. Therefore, more studies required employ rigorous uniform address an emerging threat chains; accurately assess related together cumulative toxicity perhaps when combined other pollutants.
