As the production, usage, and disposal of plastics increase, microplastics generated—plastic particles smaller than 5 mm—increases, exacerbating environmental pollution. In turn, various organisms become increasingly exposed to contaminated environments, potentially affecting humans through food chain. Crucial findings from in vivo experiments indicate histopathological changes caused by impact morphology physiological function organisms. This study describes induced across circulatory, nervous, digestive, respiratory, reproductive systems explains associated functional alterations. Except nervous system, main morphological involve degenerative throughout body, such as apoptosis, inflammation, fibrosis. Most were inflammatory responses microplastics, leading fibrosis subsequent impairments. Various studies confirm that stimulate cells, increased reactive oxygen species cell death. Consequently, these impair related systemic functions. review highlights fundamental organs cells due discusses limitations involving showing no changes.

Plastic residues have emerged as a significant challenge in the environmental sector. Microplastics, which are plastic fragments smaller than 5 mm, ability to disperse through atmosphere, oceans, and land, posing serious threat human health by accumulating food chain. However, their minuscule size makes it difficult effectively remove them from environment using current technologies. This work provides comprehensive overview of recent advancements microplastic detection removal For methods, we discuss commonly used techniques such microscopic analysis, thermal mass spectrometry, spectroscopic energy spectrometry. We also emphasize importance integrating various analytical data-processing achieve efficient nondestructive microplastics. In terms strategies, explored innovative methods technologies for extracting microplastics environment. These include physical like filtration, adsorption, magnetic separation; chemical coagulation–flocculation–sedimentation photocatalytic conversion; bioseparation activated sludge biodegradation. highlight promising potential converting contaminants into high-value chemicals. Additionally, identify technical challenges suggest future research directions advocate development unified standardized guide further on transformation

Precocious puberty (PP) is a common pediatric endocrine disorder that affects children's growth and sexual development. Environmental pollutants, especially microplastics (MPs), may be an important triggering factors in PP. MPs were widely found living environment, while the impact of on pubertal development remains unknown. In this study, 14 serum samples collected from central precocious (CPP) girls healthy controls. The concentration total CPP (68.19 ± 26.49 mg/kg) showed significant increase than controls (36.94 13.22 mg/kg). 5 11 types detected, among which PE (CPP, 28.22 %; Control, 31.62 %) PVC 62.67 58.14 being dominant ones. Correlation analysis between sex hormone revealed negatively correlated with progesterone positively dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEAS). order to investigate toxic effects onset, young female mice at 21 days orally administered various concentrations for two weeks. Female exposed (PE, 3 mg/day; PVC, 6 mg/day) had advanced vaginal opening, none changes body weight. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated exposure during could activate microglia, astrocytes promote GnRH expression hypothalamus, leading earlier onset. These data suggested can absorbed accumulated brain gonad after gavage, accelerate initiation. This study provided valuable evidence threatened normal progression
