Gross Negligence: Impacts of Microplastics and Plastic Leachates on Phytoplankton Community and Ecosystem Dynamics

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 57(1), P. 5 - 24

Published: Dec. 19, 2022

Plastic debris is an established environmental menace affecting aquatic systems globally. Recently, microplastics (MP) and plastic leachates (PL) have been detected in vital human organs, the vascular system, vitro animal studies positing severe health hazards. MP PL found every conceivable ecosystem─from open oceans deep sea floors to supposedly pristine glacier lakes snow covered mountain catchment sites. Many documented impacts on a variety of organisms, whereby some exclusively focus microorganisms. Yet, specific primary producers not systematically analyzed. Therefore, this review focuses threats posed by MP, PL, associated chemicals phytoplankton, their comprehensive at organismal, community, ecosystem scales, endogenous amelioration. Studies MP- PL-impacted individual phytoplankton species reveal production reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation, physical damage thylakoids, other physiological metabolic changes, followed homo- heteroaggregations, ultimately eventuating decreased photosynthesis productivity. Likewise, analyses microbial community plastisphere show radically different profile compared surrounding planktonic diversity. The also enriches multidrug-resistant bacteria, cyanotoxins, pollutants, accelerating succession, changing microbiome, thus, diversity evolution. These cellular scales manifest changed dynamics with widespread bottom-up top-down effects biodiversity food web interactions. adverse effects─through altered nutrient cycling─have "knock-on" biogeochemical cycles greenhouse gases. Consequently, these affect provisioning regulating services. Our citation network (CNA) further demonstrate dire all trophic levels, thereby unsettling stability CNA points several emerging nodes indicating combined toxicity hazards phytoplankton. Taken together, our study shows that ecotoxicity particles placed ecosystems peril.

Recent advances in carrageenan-based films for food packaging applications

Frontiers in Nutrition, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 9

Published: Sept. 9, 2022

In order to solve the increasingly serious environmental problems caused by plastic-based packaging, carrageenan-based films are drawing much attentions in food packaging applications, due low cost, biodegradability, compatibility, and film-forming property. The purpose of this article is present a comprehensive review recent developments films, including fabrication strategies, physical chemical properties novel applications. Carrageenan can be extracted from red algae mainly hydrolysis, ultrasonic-assisted microwave-assisted extraction, combination multiple extraction methods will future trends carrageenan methods. form homogeneous solutions fabricate direct coating, solvent casting electrospinning, mechanism film formation was discussed detail. Due inherent limitations pure film, were enhanced incorporation with other compounds. Therefore, widely used for extending shelf life monitoring freshness inhibiting microbial growth, reducing moisture loss respiration, etc. This provide useful guidelines further research on films.

Microplastic Pollution: Threats and Impacts on Global Marine Ecosystems

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(17), P. 13252 - 13252

Published: Sept. 4, 2023

This study investigates the scope of global marine microplastic pollution and its implications on ecosystems human health. We first delve into how plastic enters ocean, with an emphasis accumulation along coastlines, particularly formation impact Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP). Through a concentration map microplastics across five continents, distribution is revealed. Furthermore, effects wildlife are explored, as well their potential entry food chain, posing public health risks. The results our research underscore serious threats to health, emphasizing need for more scientific policy measures address this challenge.
