Plastic production and recycling have become integral processes in modern society, but their environmental health impacts garnered significant attention recent years. This review outlines key findings from a comprehensive assessment of these impacts, drawing range scientific literature empirical studies. The footprint plastic encompasses various stages, extraction raw materials to manufacturing distribution. These contribute greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, pollution air, water, soil. Additionally, waste, particularly single-use items, poses threat ecosystems wildlife, with marine environments being vulnerable. While is often promoted as solution mitigate the impact plastics, its effectiveness limited by factors. Challenges such contamination, inadequate infrastructure, low rates collection hinder potential benefits. Moreover, process itself can generate pollutants albeit lesser extent than primary production. Beyond concerns, implications use are increasingly recognized. Plastics contain additives phthalates bisphenols, which been linked endocrine disruption, reproductive issues, other problems humans wildlife. Furthermore, accumulation microplastics environment raises concerns about bioaccumulation transfer through food chain, for human health. Addressing requires multifaceted approach, including reduction improvement infrastructure technologies, development alternative materials, policy interventions promote sustainable practices. highlights complex interplay between usage, degradation, public health, underscoring need concerted efforts challenges.

The presence of microplastics in cosmetics and personal care products (C&PCPs) has been increasingly the public eye since early 2010s. Despite increasing research into potential environmental health effects microplastics, most to date on C&PCPs investigated "rinse-off" products, while impacts "leave-on" have largely neglected, despite these being purchased greater volumes often having two or more microplastic ingredients their formulations(CosmeticsEurope, 2018b). This review aims synthesize current knowledge C&PCPs, assessing human discussing regulatory implications. lack studies leave-on is significant, suggesting a severe gap regarding in, emissions from, C&PCPs. There noticeable (eco)toxicological consequences exposure from As result, significant aspects contamination may be overlooked legislations emerging globally (including European Commission), which intend restrict use but focus rinse-off only. highlights for decision-making, particularly as alternatives are considered during phase-out periods spotlights need sufficient monitoring alternatives, avoid unforeseen consequences.

Microplastics (MPs) degradation due to light radiation, weathering, water erosion and biodegradation might change MPs physical chemical characteristics thereby behaviors in natural environments. This study conducted a comparison investigation on polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE) polyamide (PA) three different environmental conditions, namely simulated UV light, body. The results showed that of environments is more complex than the case controlled experimental condition (such as light). In conditions body, are easily covered by sediments/microorganisms.

The increasing number of plastic particles in the environment gives rise to a unique ecological niche called plastisphere, which is characterized by dynamic assemblage microorganisms comprising autotrophs, heterotrophs, predators, and pathogens. This paper reviews formation, characteristics, factors influencing terrestrial aquatic plastisphere. plastisphere forms when hitchhiking microorganisms, often bacteria, adhere surfaces alter surface properties for subsequent colonization increasingly tightly clinging microorganisms. not as mobile defined characteristics soil anchoring it. on are dominant surroundings, particularly those phyla Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidota, Firmicutes, Chloroflexi, Acidobacteria, Cyanobacteria, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Chytridiomycota, Ciliophora, Ochrophyta, Chlorophyta. However, compositions microbial species different vary widely they change with time, properties, biotic abiotic environmental factors. Temporal changes due succession. Plastic type, size, color, degree aging, chemical leaching, also affect composition Biotic ambient interspecies interactions, together ones, including pH, temperature, nutrient availability, salinity, light, significantly shape review provides insight into biodiversity its roles spreading pathogens degrading plastics.
