Combined toxicity of micro/nanoplastics loaded with environmental pollutants to organisms and cells: Role, effects, and mechanism

Environment International, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 171, P. 107711 - 107711

Micro/nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) are ubiquitous in the environment and living organisms have been exposed to these substances for a long time. When MPs/NPs enter different organisms, they transport various pollutants, including heavy metals, persistent organic drugs, bacteria, viruses, from environment. On this basis, paper summarizes combined toxicity induced by accumulating contaminants entering through systematic review of 162 articles. Moreover, factors influencing toxic interactions critically discussed, thus highlighting dominant role relative concentrations effects. Furthermore, first time, we describe threats posed with other pollutants human health, as well their cytotoxic behavior mechanism. We found that "Trojan horse" effect nanoplastics can increase bioaccessibility environmental increasing carcinogenic risk humans. Simultaneously, complex cells observed be constantly dissociated due lysosomes. However, current research on intracellular release MP/NP-loaded is relatively poor, which hinders accurate vivo assessment pollutants. Based findings our critical review, recommend analyzing effects clarifying dose relationship each component pollutant cells, challenging yet crucial exploring mechanism pollution. In future, contribute establishing system modeling complete load-translocation toxicological MP/NP-based composite

Microplastics in terrestrial ecosystem: Exploring the menace to the soil-plant-microbe interactions

TrAC Trends in Analytical Chemistry, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 174, P. 117667 - 117667

Published: March 25, 2024

Microplastics (MPs), miniscule plastic particles measuring less than 5 mm in size, have become a concern terrestrial ecosystems, with primarily agricultural and wetland soils being the highest loadings. The adverse effect of MPs might lead to changes physicochemical biological characteristics soil including properties, microbial communities, plants, as well potential or affirmed correlations among them. Therefore, understanding risks effects MPs, particularly within soil-plant-microbe context is challenging subject substantial scientific inquiry. This comprehensive review focused on rhizosphere plant-microbe symbiotic relationships, implications for plant growth ecosystem-level nutrient fluxes. alter community composition, enzymatic activities rhizosphere, influencing availability uptake by plants. These can disrupt interactions, such mycorrhizal associations nitrogen-fixing symbioses, ultimately impacting cycling nutrients ecosystems. Furthermore, we elaborate relationships carrying Future research directions solutions microplastics menace acknowledging combined other contaminants, advanced technologies identification quantification, engineering remediation. knowledge MPs-induced impacts interactions essential generate mitigating actions environmental management conservation.

Abstract Previous studies reported microplastics (MPs), antibiotics, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). There is still a lack of research progress on the origin, fate, impact hazards MPs ARGs WWTPs. This paper fills gap this regard. In our search, we used “microplastics”, “antibiotic genes”, “wastewater plant” as topic terms Web Science, checking returned results for relevance by examining titles abstracts. study mainly explores following points: (1) origins fate MPs, antibiotics WWTPs; (2) mechanisms action sludge biochemical pools; (3) impacts WWTPs spread ARGs; (4) harm inflicted environment human body. Contaminants sewage such ARGs, antibiotic-resistant bacteria enter soil water. can travel through food chain thus reach humans, leading to increased illness, hospitalization, even mortality. will enhance understanding among they inflict
