Current knowledge on the presence, biodegradation, and toxicity of discarded face masks in the environment

During the first year of COVID-19 pandemic, facemasks became mandatory, with a great preference for disposable ones. However, benefits face masks health safety are counteracted by environmental burden related to their improper disposal. An unprecedented influx entering environment has been reported in last two years along implications natural environments terms biodegradability, released contaminants and ecotoxicological effects. This critical review addresses several aspects current literature regarding (bio)degradation (eco)toxicity contaminants, identifying uncertainties research needs that should be addressed future studies. While it is indisputable mask contamination contributes already alarming plastic pollution, we still far from determining its real contribution issue. The paucity studies on biodegradation ecotoxicity uncontrolled variables involved during experimental procedures, compromising eventual comparison conventional debris. Studies abundance composition mask-released (microplastics/fibres/ chemical compounds) under pre- post-pandemic conditions should, therefore, encouraged, tests considering environmentally relevant settings. To achieve this, methodological strategies developed overcome technical difficulties quantify characterise smallest MPs fibres, adsorbents, leachates increase relevancy conditions.
