ABSTRACT The pollution caused by microplastics (MPs) is a global environmental and health concern. These plastic particles disrupt food chains pose risks to organisms, including humans. From total of 827 studies, synthetic textiles (35%) tires (28%) are the primary sources MPs, with fibers being most common shape (60%). MPs were detected in feces (44% studies), lungs (35%), blood (17%), indicating widespread contamination potential impacts. Bioremediation promising sustainable method for mitigating MP pollution, as it uses microorganisms plants break down or convert into less hazardous substances. However, important understand address unintended consequences bioremediation methods on environment human health. This scoping literature review examines efficiency currently emerging approaches microplastic bioremediation, their strengths weaknesses, impacts Highly effective such mycoremediation, soil microbes enhanced biodegradation, phytoextraction identified, but they high toxicity risks. Moderately include plant‐assisted remediation, rhizosphere degradation, phytodegradation, effectiveness rates between 50% 65% moderate
