Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are widespread emerging contaminants with many potential direct indirect effects on soil ecosystems. Ecological MNP hazard assessment is thus crucial for a proper risk the development of environmental protection regulations. However, current testing approaches hampered by absence guidelines, harmonization, standard reference materials. This article discusses need improving provides specific recommendations to increase relevance reliability ecotoxicity data. Our focus environmentally relevant experimental designs, guidelines microplastic test materials selection characterization, analysis MNPs additives in biota, proposal physicochemical properties be assessed during testing. brings novelty field ecological providing solutions much needed this field.

Beyond surface: Unveiling ecological and economic ramifications of microplastic pollution in the oceans

Water Environment Research, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 96(7)

Опубликована: Июль 1, 2024

Every year, the global production of plastic waste reaches a staggering 400 million metric tons (Mt), precipitating adverse consequences for environment, food safety, and biodiversity as it degrades into microplastics (MPs). The multifaceted nature MP pollution, coupled with its intricate physiological impacts, underscores pressing need comprehensive policies legislative frameworks. Such measures, alongside advancements in technology, hold promise averting ecological catastrophe oceans. Mandated legislation represents pivotal step towards restoring oceanic health securing well-being planet. This work offers an overview policy hurdles, initiatives, prospective strategies addressing pollution due to MP. Additionally, this explores innovative approaches that yield fresh insights combating across various sectors. Emphasizing importance plastics treaty, article potential galvanize collaborative efforts mitigating pollution's deleterious effects on marine ecosystems. Successful implementation such treaty could revolutionize economy, steering circular, less polluting model operating within planetary boundaries. Failure act decisively risks exacerbating scourge attendant repercussions both humanity environment. Central endeavor are formulation, content, execution itself, which demand careful consideration. While recognizing is not panacea, serves mechanism enhancing governance elevating ambitions achieving zero by 2040. Adopting life cycle approach management allows nuanced understanding possible trade-offs between environmental impact economic growth, guiding selection optimal solutions socio-economic implications mind. By embracing strategy integrates measures technological innovations, we can substantially reduce influx litter at sources, safeguarding oceans future generations.

Enhanced hepatotoxicity in zebrafish due to co-exposure of microplastics and sulfamethoxazole: Insights into ROS-mediated MAPK signaling pathway regulation

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 278, С. 116415 - 116415

The combined pollution of microplastics (MPs) and sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) often occurs in aquatic ecosystems, posing a serious threat to animal human health. However, little is known about the liver damage caused by single or co-exposure MPs SMZ, its specific mechanisms are still poorly understood. In this study, we investigated effects 20 μm 80 nm SMZ both larval adult zebrafish models. Firstly, observed significant decrease number hepatocytes worsened following MPs. Additionally, macrophages neutrophils decreased, while expression inflammatory cytokines antioxidant enzyme activities increased after zebrafish. Transcriptome analysis revealed changes gene co-exposed groups, particularly processes related oxidation-reduction, response, MAPK signaling pathway Co-exposure also promoted hepatocyte apoptosis inhibited proliferation levels, which was associated with translocation Nrf2 from cytoplasm nucleus an increase protein levels NF-kB p65 Furthermore, our pharmacological experiments demonstrated that inhibiting ROS blocking partially rescued injury induced conclusion, findings suggest induces hepatic dysfunction through ROS-mediated This information provides novel insights into potential environmental risk hazardous pollutants co-existence ecosystems.

Distribution Characteristics and Sources of Microplastics in Inland Wetland Ecosystem Soils

Water, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(2), С. 231 - 231

Опубликована: Янв. 16, 2025

Microplastic (MP) pollution, an emerging global change factor, disturbs the ecosystem functioning. Inland wetlands, providing important services, might be sink for MPs. Understanding distribution, source, and fate of MPs in inland wetland ecosystems is a prerequisite developing effective management strategy. Here, different types including river wetland, constructed lake were selected to explore pollution patterns therein. Results showed that abundance soil ranges from 532 4309 items/kg. Transparent, fibers, polyethylene terephthalate most common color, shape, polymer type MPs, respectively. The this study did not significantly remove was one main sinks had accumulated large amounts In addition, MP characteristics cluster analyses aquaculture, agricultural cultivation, domestic waste sources area. occluded particulate organic carbon content related abundance. conclusion, reveals special river-constructed-lake which would help better understand distribution source wetlands have implications subsequent control ecological restoration wetlands.
