Tire wear microplastics (TWMs) are continuously generated during driving and subsequently released into the environment, where they pose potential risks to aquatic organisms. In this study, effects of untreated, hydrated, environmentally aged TWMs on growth, root development, photosynthesis, electron transport system (ETS) activity, energy-rich molecules duckweed Lemna minor were investigated. The results indicated that untreated have most pronounced negative minor, as evidenced by reduced growth impaired development. contrast, hydrated less. associated with primarily attributed abrasive nature these particles, which physically damage plant tissue. On other hand, showed a different mode action serve vectors for algae. Once introduced new environment via TWMs, algae competed available nutrients space, further impairing length, photosynthetic efficiency, carbohydrate content minor. This study revealed dual threat posed TWMs: direct physical from newly particles indirect ecological disruption facilitate spread

Due to its widespread occurrence in practically all environmental sectors, including the terrestrial, marine, and atmospheric, microplastics (MP) have transitioned from an emerging pollutant a chronic contaminant. Studies on prevalence hazardous effects marine creatures been conducted over world, but only coastal environments. Microplastic pollution has emerged as global concern environments danger animals, predators, humans because it discovered environment world. This review examines quantity of MP samples around world their colonization by microorganisms, well detection, features, origins, ecological implications paint fragments resins our oceans ports. These polymers are derived paints fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) matrix used shipbuilding. Microplastics should be regarded coming synthetic found ship coatings. For assessing microplastic pollution, choosing appropriate sample technique is essential. Additionally, this offers overview investigation methods, concentrating sampling techniques, laboratory procedures, identification MPs seawater, how they apply seaport environment. Because discovery particularly Africa, Asia, India, South North America, Europe, clear that monitoring crucial for determining efficacy mitigation efforts limit waste entering environment, especially through sensors real-time information transfer systems (e.g., smart digital seawater monitoring).
