Microplastics, defined as plastic particles less than 5 mm in size, have become a pervasive environmental contaminant detected across wide range of ecosystems. While the presence microplastics marine life and humans has been extensively documented, there remains significant gap understanding their full health impacts. Moreover, effects on animals, particularly those close proximity to human activities, remain underexplored, representing key area for future research. In this study, we found high levels microplastic accumulation animal tissues, lungs, intestines, reproductive organs. Our results also indicate that ingestion occurs through multiple sources, including contaminated food, water, air, reflecting widespread distribution. Evidence crossing biological barriers accumulating critical organ systems suggests potential long-term risks animals may implications food-chain exposure. Given interconnectedness ecosystems these contaminants enter food chain, raises serious concerns broader ecological health. The findings underscore urgent need further research clarify develop effective strategies mitigating emerging global threat.

Plastic pollution in the oceans represents a significant threat to marine biodiversity and coastal ecosystems. This study analyzes effects of microplastics plastic debris, focusing on their impact species at different trophic levels ecosystem health. Through comprehensive review scientific literature from databases such as Scopus Web Science, recent research toxicological consequences plastics possible solutions were selected. The results show that are ingested by wide variety organisms, causing digestive blockages, cell damage reproductive alterations, well serving vectors chemical contaminants. Although current policies have been successful reducing use single-use plastics, lack adequate recycling composting infrastructure limits effectiveness these measures. concludes coordinated global action, with emphasis transition circular economy development innovative technologies, is required mitigate devastating impacts oceans.
