Celluloid, the predecessor to plastic, was synthesized in 1869, and due technological advancements, plastic products appear be ubiquitous daily life. The massive production, rampant usage, inadequate disposal of have led severe environmental pollution. Consequently, reducing employment has emerged as a pressing concern for governments globally. This review explores microplastics, including their origins, absorption, harmful effects on environment humans. Several methods exist breaking down plastics, thermal, mechanical, light, catalytic, biological processes. Despite these methods, microplastics (MPs, between 1 5 mm size) continue produced during degradation. Acknowledging significant threat that MPs pose human health is imperative. form pollution pervasive air food infiltrates our bodies through ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact. It essential assess potential hazards can introduce. There evidence suggesting may negative impacts different areas health. These include respiratory, gastrointestinal, immune, nervous, reproductive systems, liver organs, skin, even placenta placental barrier. encouraging see most countries taken steps regulate particles. measures aim reduce which today. At same time, this summarizes degradation mechanism impact health, reduction policies worldwide. provides valuable information future research regulatory development.

Classified as marine debris, man made materials are polluting the world's oceans. Recently, glass reinforced plastic (GRP) has been shown to degrade and contaminate coasts. In this pioneering study, fibreglass particles have detected in soft parts of oysters mussels collected from natural populations, front an active boatyard. The presence particulate glass, with concentrations up 11,220 particles/kg ww Ostrea edulis 2740 Mytilus edulis, was confirmed by micro Raman spectroscopy. results showed higher accumulation during winter months, when boat maintenance activities peaking and, through repair work, release fibres environment is more likely. Bivalves considered high risk species due their sessile nature extensive filter feeding behaviour. microparticle inclusion may contribute adverse impacts on physiological processes eventually a decline overall health subsequent death animal. costs involved proper GRP disposal lack recycling facilities worldwide lead abandonement further contamination For first time study presents bivalve popular South England sailing harbour, designated biological geological site specific scientific interest (SSRI).
