Mesoplastics are emerging environmental pollutants that can pose a threat to the environment. Researching mesoplastics is crucial as they bridge gap between macroplastics and microplastics by determining their role in plastic fragmentation pathways, well ecological impact. Investigating mesoplastic sources will help develop targeted policies mitigation strategies address pollution. These found across aquatic, terrestrial, agricultural ecosystems. Unlike microplastics, reviewed scientific literature. This paper focuses on existing published research mesoplastics, trends synthesizing key findings related Research primarily focused marine freshwater ecosystems, with surface water beach sediments being most studied compartments. often offers baseline data, increased publications from 2014 2024, particularly East Asia. However, certain ecosystems regions remain underrepresented. Also, disrupt degrading biodiversity, contaminating soils waters, affecting food chains. also become vectors for additives pathogenic microorganisms, highlighting risks. Various factors influence mesoplastics’ prevalence, including anthropogenic non-anthropogenic activities. With this, future should expand into less-studied regions, explore interactions organisms, promote public awareness, education, policy measures reduce use mitigate pollution globally.

The risk of human exposure to micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) has received increasing attention in recent years. Consumption drinking water is a significant route MNPs. While previous studies focus on MNPs treated wastewater or final effluent, research addressing networks (DWNs) as potential secondary sources remains sparse. However, how DWN, critical component transporting from treatment plants consumers, contributes contamination underexplored existing studies. We extracted keywords reviewed literature using bibliometric methods conducted correlation analyses, revealing four clusters: baseline detection, health assessments, nanoplastic, treatment. abundance DWN ranged 0.01 1.4 items/L. varied between 679.5 4.5 × 107 items/kg when calculated based sample mass (in scales debris). Based the shape polymer composition MNPs, strongly suspected contribute tap water. also main mechanisms for formation release pipelines, including mechanical forces, hammer effects, chemical aging. Our review highlighted current gaps MNP DWN. It will understanding contribution provide framework future monitoring efforts.

Indoor environments, considered sanctuaries from external pollutants, are increasingly recognized as reservoirs for microplastics (MP). This research employed a comprehensive approach, combining dust sampling diverse indoor spaces, density separation method, and microscopic observation to quantify characterize microplastic particles. is the first initial study worldwide that incorporated MP identification in different environments along with factor analysis, health, ecological risk assessment. The average concentration environment was 4333.18 ± 353.85 MP/g. distribution pattern institutional areas < residential industrial commercial areas. Black color, fiber, <0.5 mm size dominant morphology, size, respectively, among detected studied samples. In addition, polymer types of were by Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, ten polymers while PET high abundance. Population number, architectural features habitat, human activities, urban topography, particle residence time determined responsible factors abundance estimated daily intake (EDI) value via ingestion higher than inhalation MP. Infants highly susceptible exposures. According Polymer Hazard Index (PLI) (PHI) values, exposure minor extreme categories.
