Plastic products in plant production and protection help farmers increase crop production, enhance food quality, reduce global water use their environmental footprint. Simultaneously, plastic has emerged as a critical ecological issue recent years, its pollution significantly impacted soil, water, plants. Thus, this review examines the multifaceted problems of agriculture risk to security, ecosystem, environment. The study’s objective was present most information on using different agriculture, sources pollution, advantages drawbacks products, strategies for mitigating agriculture. Furthermore, after examining current applications, benefits, adverse effects, risks plants, environment, we addressed requirements technological advancements, regulations, social processes that could contribute our ecosystems. We identified pathways toward more sustainable plastics discussed future research directions.

Nanoplastics, emerging as pervasive environmental pollutants, pose significant threats to ecosystems and human health due their small size potential toxicity. However, detecting trace levels of nanoplastics remains challenging because limitations in the current analytical methods. Herein, we propose a method that combines superhydrophobic enrichment with SERS analysis for aqueous environments. Superhydrophobic substrates were prepared by using liquid-liquid self-assembly method. The superhydrophobicity facilitated analyte enrichment, monolayer Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) enhanced Raman signals. detection limit probe crystal violet (CV) this substrate reached nanomolar (10-9 M), an RSD 9.96% across 40 × μm2 area (441 spots), demonstrating excellent sensitivity reproducibility. This successfully detected polystyrene (PS) plastics ranging from 30 1000 nm water concentrations low 0.03 μg/mL. Additionally, nanoscale polyethylene terephthalate (PET) particles bottled samples. approach offers promising platform analyzing samples addresses needs monitoring.

Microplastic contamination is rapidly becoming an increasingly worrying environmental problem and poses a real threat to marine ecosystems human health. The aim of this research was conduct traditional review the current state art regarding sources MPs in environment, including assessment their toxic effect on organisms transfer within food webs up humans. An extensive literature search (from 1 January 2024 15 February 2025) yielded total 1027 primary articles topic. This overview revealed that can be ingested by organisms, migrate through intestinal wall, spread other organs. They biomagnify along chain carriers chemicals pathogen agents. Exposure lead several risks, tissue damage, oxidative stress, changes immune-related gene expression, neurotoxicity, growth retardation, behavioural abnormalities. toxicity depends mainly particle size distribution composition/characteristics polymer. main routes exposure have been identified as ingestion (mainly seafood), inhalation, dermal exposure. There strong evidence seafood MPs, which pose potential risk study provides basis for assessing MPs’ health impacts.

Abstract Here a bioengineered platform is introduced to investigate adverse effects of environmental materials on the human cornea. Using primary cells, this system capable reproducing differentiated corneal epithelium and its underlying stroma in eye, which can then be treated with externally applied solid, liquid, or gaseous substances controlled manner under physiologically relevant conditions. The proof‐of‐principle how used simulate ocular exposure different classes toxicants for direct visualization quantitative analysis their potential induce acute injury inflammation demonstrated. This model also further engineered create an electromechanically actuated array multiple tissues that emulate spontaneous eye blinking. advanced system, it shown blinking‐like mechanical motions may play protective role against toxicants. work yields immediately deployable vitro technology screening toxicity existing emerging various types enable development more realistic, human‐relevant preclinical toxicology models complementary traditional animal testing.
