Microplastics (MPs) have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their potential detrimental effects on both bioenvironmental systems and human health. Numerous studies documented the presence of notable concentrations MPs effluent wastewater treatment plants worldwide. Consequently, adopting a life-cycle approach is crucial for sustainable management plastics. This article presents critical review focusing sources, sinks, monitoring, control, assessment systems. Initially, we analyze occurrence, fate, pathways MPs, comparing different sources sinks across various bioenvironments, including freshwater, atmosphere, terrestrial, oceans. Additionally, compare methods pretreatment, sampling, analysis MPs. Furthermore, illustrate policies aimed at controlling limiting use plastics, discuss technological advancements risk assessments associated with Finally, provide several perspectives prospects regarding priority research directions control assessment.

The co-occurrence of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and MPs has resulted in combined toxicity high risks to ecosystems human health. However, understanding on the interactions among co-occurring pollutants soils remains limited.

The adsorption of atrazine (ATZ) onto pristine and aged polyethylene microplastics (MPs) was investigated in distilled water (DW) hydroponic nutrient-enriched (EW) to evaluate its phytotoxic effects on Lactuca sativa germination. Aged (AMPs) exhibited higher ATZ both conditions: 0.646 mg/g (14.49%) DW 0.742 (15.87%) EW, compared 0.405 (9.08%) 0.504 (10.78%) for (PMPs), respectively. This increase attributed photodegradation-induced surface modifications MP, including increased roughness the formation oxygenated functional groups. phytotoxicity assays showed that adsorbed AMPs inhibited seed germination more severely, with a maximum inhibition 34% at 2 mg/L, evidencing microplastic aging enhances increases toxicity risks aquatic environments, particularly under eutrophic conditions. combined presence MP resulted greater toxicity, synergistic effect, as observed dry wet mass inhibition. These findings indicate pollutant interactions amplify negative impacts plant development. Furthermore, primarily affects root growth through direct physical contact rather than via desorption into water.

Abstract Pesticide residues represent a serious challenge for environmental protection, food safety, and public health. Addressing this challenge, study strategically developed an electrochemical sensor with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as the recognition element to accurately detect chlorpyrifos in samples. In study, we used vinyl‐modified SiO 2 matrix, methacrylic acid functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate cross‐linker, azobisisobutyronitrile initiator synthesize surface‐imprinted polymers. The development of involved detailed modification electrode, first by integrating carboxylated multi‐walled carbon nanotubes graphene oxide improve its properties, then applying suspension MIPs glassy electrode. This process resulted capable detecting samples high sensitivity. sensor, designed detection, exhibited robust linear response peak current varying concentrations chlorpyrifos, ranging from 1 × 10 −11 −5 mol L −1 . It achieved detection limit low 1.85 ( S / N = 3). Testing confirmed sensor's exceptional repeatability, stability, selectivity towards underscoring efficacy. demonstrated capabilities suggest substantial potential widespread use pesticide regulation conservation efforts.
