Plastic pollution ranks among the most severe environmental disasters caused by humans, generating millions of tonnes waste annually. The extensive and unregulated use plastics has led to ecotoxicity imbalance. Microplastics (MPs) are prevalent in aquatic environments, these MPs further degrade into even smaller particles known as nano-plastics (NPs). Both NPs impact environment readily absorbing organic pollutants pathogens from their surroundings, owing bigger surface area volume ratio. This review focuses on source origin, bioaccumulation, potential organisms human health. Additionally, explores various methods employed for identification quantification ecosystems. Sufficient information is available characteristics, distributions, effects marine ecosystems compared with freshwater For plastic <10 μm, more toxicological were observed larger size particles, life. Understanding mechanism action ecotoxicological micro/nano-plastics health life across trophic levels, well health, utmost importance. We address knowledge gaps provide insights future research approaches a better understanding interactive mechanisms between binary pollutants.

Plastic and plasticizer pollution has been a concern worldwide over the past decade. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is most produced detected in coastal marine ecosystems. This study aimed to assess toxicity of acute exposure (24, 48, 72, 96 h) DEHP concentrations (0.045–6.00 mg·L−1) on estuarine tropical species from distinct trophic levels. The lethality sublethal responses were assessed two microorganisms three invertebrates, independently. microorganisms—the microalga Tetraselmis sp. microbial consortium MP001—showed high tolerance density-rising tendency during DEHP. Among mortality brine shrimp Artemia amphipod Apohyale media rose with increasing concentrations. However, A. was more sensitive across time since its reached 100% almost all 72 h. dark false mussel Mytilopsis leucophaeata tolerant invertebrate: no significant (≤20%) observed exclusively h at intermediate–high M. presented that seem be good endpoints for ecotoxicological assays. These results reinforce evidence contamination risks ecosystems, as well suggest candidate biodegradation.
