Microplastics (MPs) are regarded as a global issue due to their toxicity effects on fish and humans. Fish is vital origin of human protein, which necessary for body growth. Contamination by MPs major hazard that requires special focus. After exposure alone or in combination with other pollutants, may experience variety health issues. can cause tissue damage, oxidative stress, changes immune-related gene expression well antioxidant status fish. being exposed MPs, suffer from neurotoxicity, growth retardation, behavioral abnormalities. The consequences poorly understood. Due the abundance environment, occur via consumption, inhalation, skin contact. Humans cytotoxicity, immune system disruption, transfer tissues after them. toxic both still unknown. This detailed review has potential add existing knowledge about ecotoxicity humans, will be useful forthcoming study.

The Burden of Microplastics Pollution and Contending Policies and Regulations

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 19(11), С. 6773 - 6773

Опубликована: Июнь 1, 2022

The relationship between humans and plastics has become intricate due to their versatile nature low production cost. Plastics generation surpassed that of other manufactured products, which, coupled with the prevailing poor waste management systems, makes it a serious problem for terrestrial aquatic environments as its final destination. Their extensive presence continued pose significant threat, not only ecosystem but also approximately 3 billion people relying on livelihood. Even more disturbing were recent findings these in food drinking water evidence human exposure, long-term health effects which are largely unknown. This ubiquitous phenomenon over time put under critical observation, leading development many local international policies, resolutions, directives aimed at addressing reversing menace. review provided first snapshot global governance strategies currently mitigating plastic pollution, limitations, future directions. revealed several aspects microplastics (MPs) pollution be overlooked policy formulation, laxity implementation, an apparent lack indices ascertain impact regulations. Furthermore, there is no regulation MPs contamination funding research into alternatives. This, therefore, necessitates need well-coordinated approach national levels scale up policies all countries translate them from paper measurable, holistic, realizable actions will address forms pollution.

Effects of microplastics, pesticides and nano-materials on fish health, oxidative stress and antioxidant defense mechanism

Frontiers in Physiology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14

Опубликована: Июнь 26, 2023

Microplastics and pesticides are emerging contaminants in the marine biota, which cause many harmful effects on aquatic organisms, especially fish. Fish is a staple affordable food source, rich animal protein, along with various vitamins, essential amino acids, minerals. Exposure of fish to microplastics, pesticides, nanoparticles generates ROS induces oxidative stress, inflammation, immunotoxicity, genotoxicity, DNA damage alters gut microbiota, thus reducing growth quality Changes behavioral patterns, swimming, feeding habits were also observed under exposures above contaminants. These affect Nrf-2, JNK, ERK, NF-κB, MAPK signaling pathways. And Nrf2-KEAP1 signalling modulates redox status marinating enzymes Effects found modulate antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione system. So, protect health from contribution nano-technology or nano-formulations was researched. A decrease nutritional population significantly impacts human diet, influencing traditions economics worldwide. On other hand, traces microplastics habitat water can enter humans by consuming contaminated may result serious hazards. This review summarizes stress caused due nano-particle contamination exposure their impact health. As rescue mechanism, use management disease discussed.

A review on source, occurrence, and impacts of microplastics in freshwater aquaculture systems in China

Water Biology and Security, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 1(3), С. 100040 - 100040

Опубликована: Май 4, 2022

Microplastic pollution has become an increasingly important environmental issue worldwide in recent years because of its ubiquitous presence different media and potential to affect the health organisms ecosystems. Aquaculture contributes significantly world's food production nutritional supply, especially developing countries. Widespread occurrence microplastics aquaculture systems raised great concern regarding safety issues products. China is a world leader production, with freshwater accounting for 59.1% total 2020. Therefore, this review mainly focuses on research progress related microplastic China. Results from literature show that are present at abundances comparable natural waterbodies Microplastics can be ingested remain body Exposure adversely aquatic ecosystem functions. However, risks real environment uncertain. Consumption products not major pathway human exposure microplastics. To provide scientific guidance governmental decision-making control, future work should focus toxicological methodology understanding impacts community levels.

Nanoplastics and Microplastics May Be Damaging Our Livers

Toxics, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 10(10), С. 586 - 586

Опубликована: Окт. 4, 2022

Plastics in the environment can be degraded and even broken into pieces under action of natural factors, products with a particle size less than 5 mm are called microplastics (MPs). MPs exist variety environmental media that come contact human body. It enter body through food chains. At present, there many studies investigating damage to marine organisms mammals. The liver is largest metabolizing organ plays an important role metabolism However, no available systematic review on toxic effects liver. This paper summarizes adverse mechanisms liver, by searching literature highlighting have been published date, provides scenario for toxicity caused MPs.

Are microplastics contributing to pollution-induced neurotoxicity? A pilot study with wild fish in a real scenario

Heliyon, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 9(1), С. e13070 - e13070

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2023

Pollution-induced neurotoxicity is of high concern. This pilot study investigated the potential relationship between presence microplastics (MPs) in brain 180 wild fish (Dicentrarchus labrax, Platichthys flesus, Mugil cephalus) from a contaminated estuary and activity acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme. MPs were found 9 samples (5% total), all them D. labrax collected summer, which represents 45% this species that season (20). Seventeen recovered samples, with sizes ranging 8 to 96 μm. Polyacrylamide, polyacrylic acid one biopolymer (zein) identified by Micro-Raman spectroscopy. Fish showed lower (p ≤ 0.05) AChE than those where not found. These findings point contribution induced long-term exposure pollution, stressing need further studies on topic increase 'One Health' protection.
