Microplastics and Antibiotics in Aquatic Environments: A Review of Their Interactions and Ecotoxicological Implications

Tropical Aquatic and Soil Pollution, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 4(1), P. 60 - 78

Published: June 9, 2024

Microplastics and antibiotics are two significant emerging pollutants found together in water bodies, raising concerns about their mutual effects. This review delves into how microplastics interact aqueous environments the ecotoxicological implications of such interactions, particularly bioavailability prevalence antibiotic-resistance genes. It outlines that attach to primarily through hydrophobic, hydrogen-bonding, electrostatic interactions. Other bonds, comprising halogen bonding, cation−π interaction, negative charge-assisted hydrogen may also be involved better explain antibiotic adsorption patterns. The often follows pseudo-second-order kinetic model some instances, pseudo-first-order model. common isotherms governing this interaction linear Freundlich models. increase biodegradation adsorbed due presence antibiotic-degrading bacteria biofilms. They could hamper direct photodegradation but facilitate indirect antibiotics. However, photodegradative effect remains inconclusive. exhibit toxicity algae, while effects on fish daphnia less noticeable, suggesting combination does not pose an immediate threat well-being proliferation larger aquatic organisms.

Microplastics in seagrass ecosystems: A review of fate and impacts

Research in Ecology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 41 - 53

Published: Aug. 1, 2024

Microplastics have been detected in seagrass ecosystems, raising concerns about their potential impacts on the ecological functions of seagrasses. Seagrass meadows are biodiversity hotspots as they provide habitats to diverse fish and invertebrates. They also play a crucial role nutrient cycling, capturing carbon, buffering coastal erosion. This review aims present fate microplastics ecosystems ecosystems. A total 66 scientific articles reviewed. The highlights that intercept microplastics, though relevant results currently inconclusive. Some attach epiphytes blades or while some accumulate sediment, causing enrichment meadows. Nonetheless, few studies did not observe such intercepting effects. Microplastic enrichment, where observed, could be due near-bed turbulent kinetic energy entraps denser sinking microplastics. can directly affect seagrasses by blocking light transfer, affecting shoot leaf turnover, degenerating root oxidative stress. However, study Zostera marina L. found short-term exposure significantly impact bicarbonate utilization photosynthetic efficiency. additives, particularly bisphenol reduced chlorophyll caused peroxide accumulation Cymodocea nodosa. presence biodegradable plastics sediment might alter distribution interaction species.
