Microplastics, measuring less than 5 mm in diameter, are now found various environmental media, including soil, water, and air, have infiltrated the food chain, ultimately becoming a part of human diet. This study offers comprehensive examination intricate nexus between microplastics health, thereby contributing to existing knowledge on subject. Sources microplastics, microfibers from textiles, personal care products, wastewater treatment plants, among others, were assessed. The meticulously examined diverse routes microplastic exposure—ingestion, inhalation, dermal contact—offering insights into associated health risks. Notably, ingestion has been linked gastrointestinal disturbances, endocrine disruption, potential transmission pathogenic bacteria. Inhalation airborne emerges as critical concern, with possible implications for respiratory cardiovascular health. Dermal contact, although explored, raises prospect skin irritation allergic reactions. impacts COVID-19 pollution also highlighted. Throughout manuscript, need deeper mechanistic understanding interactions systems is emphasized, underscoring urgency further research public awareness.

Microplastics are among the major contaminations in terrestrial and marine environments worldwide. These persistent organic contaminants composed of tiny particles concern due to their potential hazards ecosystem human health. accumulates ocean ecosystems, exerting effects on living organisms including microbiomes, fish plants. While accumulation fate microplastics ecosystems is thoroughly studied, distribution biological soil call for more research. Here, we review sources its physical chemical properties, water holding capacity, bulk density, pH value as well microorganisms animals. In addition, discuss combination with other toxic environmental heavy metals antibiotics plant growth physiology, health possible degradation remediation methods. This reflect an urgent need monitoring projects that assess toxicity plants various environments. The prospect these future research activities should prioritize agro-ecosystems, focusing microbial purposes environment.
