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.

Micro- and nano-plastics (MNPLs) can move along the food chain to higher-level organisms including humans. Three significant routes for MNPLs have been reported: ingestion, inhalation, dermal contact. Accumulating evidence supports intestinal toxicity of ingested their role as drivers increased incidence colorectal cancer (CRC) in high-risk populations such inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. However, mechanisms are largely unknown. In this review, by using leading scientific publication databases (Web Science, Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect), we explored possible effects related MNPL exposure on gut epithelium healthy conditions IBD The summarized idea that oral may contribute epithelial damage, thus promoting sustaining chronic development inflammation, mainly Colonic mucus layer disruption further facilitate passage into bloodstream, contributing toxic different organ systems platelet activation, which may, turn, inflammation CRC development. Further exploration threat human health is warranted reduce potential adverse risk.

The pervasiveness of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems has become a significant environmental concern recent years. Because their slow rate disposal, MPs are ubiquitous the environment. As consequence indiscriminate use, landfill deposits, inadequate recycling methods, MP production accumulation expanding at an alarming rate, resulting range economic, social, repercussions. Aquatic organisms, including fish various crustaceans, consume MPs, which ultimately consumed by humans tertiary level food chain. Blocking digestive tracts, disrupting behavior, reducing reproductive growth entire living organisms all consequences this phenomenon. In order to assess potential impacts resources required for life plastic product, importance cycle assessment (LCA) circularity is underscored. MPs-related ecosystem degradation not yet been adequately incorporated into LCA, tool evaluating performance product technology cycles. It technique that designed quantify effects from its inception demise, it frequently employed context plastics. control necessary due growing pose as newly emergent threat.

Microplastics (MPs) are widespread environmental pollutants that have drawn significant attention due to their possible health risks humans and animals, as well extensive presence in ecosystems. Recent growing evidence highlights a remarkable relationship between MPs extracellular vesicles (EVs), nanoscale particles involved intercellular communication. The purpose of this review was investigate how the relationships EVs can affect cellular functions interaction could impact conditions leading broader ecological risks. patterns bioactivity both strongly influenced by biophysical characteristics such hydrophobicity, surface charge, particle size, which received particular from scientific community. studies indicate EV distribution capacity function appropriately biological systems. Additionally, modify molecular cargo EVs, may result alterations cell signaling pathways. Understanding interactions provide important opportunities comprehend potential effects on human systems, especially when it comes cancer development, endocrine, metabolic, inflammatory disorders, disruptions. This emphasizes necessity multidisciplinary research clarify mechanisms regulating EVs.

The production of plastics and associated products, including microplastics (MPs), has been surging over the past several decades now poses a grave environmental threat. This is because when not appropriately recycled, incinerated, or disposed in fully contained landfills, plastic waste manifests as potent pollutant, with vast amounts finding their way into oceans annually, adversely impacting marine life ecosystems. Additionally, research also confirms there are direct impacts from MPs on water, air, soil, ecosystem human health. study investigated all aspects such generation consumption, presence oceans, ultimate fate. Next, comprehensive literature search was performed to identify have watercourses soils eventually ocean, taking consideration coupled metals emerging contaminants adsorbed onto MPs. Then, model estimate number then using toxicity humans aquatic would become toxic humanity described. Utilizing model, it possible year ocean could potentially broadly toxic, for both life, under different emissions scenarios. estimates conclude that current MP discharge growth, between 2398 2456, growth only until 2020, be reached 2408 2472, ending humanity. Finally, remediation strategies described prevent becoming by focusing various action items education awareness, reducing utilization single-use plastic, conventional innovative can used treatment stormwater wastewater.
