Microplastics (MPs) pollution has emerged as one of the world’s most serious environmental issues, with harmful consequences for ecosystems and human health. One proposed solution to their accumulation in environment is replacement nondegradable plastics biodegradable ones. However, due lack true biodegradability some ecosystems, they also give rise microplastics (BioMPs) that negatively impact different living organisms. This review summarizes current literature on BioMPs organisms—higher plants fish—relevant food chain. Concerning higher plants, adverse effects seed germination, plant biomass growth, penetration nutrients through roots, oxidative stress, changes soil properties, all leading reduced agricultural yield, have been critically discussed. fish, it are more likely be ingested than nonbiodegradable ones accumulate animal’s body, impaired skeletal development, behavioral changes. Therefore, based reviewed pioneering literature, seem a new threat health rather an effective counteract MP pollution, even if knowledge gaps this field highlight need additional rigorous investigations understand potential risks associated BioMPs.

This study investigates the scope of global marine microplastic pollution and its implications on ecosystems human health. We first delve into how plastic enters ocean, with an emphasis accumulation along coastlines, particularly formation impact Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP). Through a concentration map microplastics across five continents, distribution is revealed. Furthermore, effects wildlife are explored, as well their potential entry food chain, posing public health risks. The results our research underscore serious threats to health, emphasizing need for more scientific policy measures address this challenge.

Environmental Pollution due to the unprecedented inundation of microplastics (MPs) released from various sources is a major concern for most environmental & material scientists in today's world. Millions tons are produced each year and alarmingly enter environment up 14 million plastic waste thought into ocean annually. The precarious results it show paramount imbalance natural ecosystem many living beings. Such devastating toxic effect on our surroundings requires long-lasting solution safeguard its inhabitants. Additionally, studies have shown that MPs consumed by variety organisms. It precisely combination ingestion chemical interaction lends support idea could potentially influence availability harmfulness both naturally occurring externally introduced co-contaminants. Microbial remediation principally bacterial fungal populations has been an emerging trend improving microplastic pollution environment. This review paper delves ecotoxicological effects pollutants microbial technologies used microorganisms degradation. proven be key advancement as environmentally friendly way decomposing than traditional one. Plastic degradation bioremediation potential these aroused interest many, eliminating non-biodegradable plastics surroundings.

The extensive use of polymeric materials has resulted in significant environmental pollution, prompting the need for a deeper understanding their degradation processes and impacts. This review provides comprehensive analysis environment impact on health experimental animals. It identifies common polymers, delineates pathways, describes resulting products under different conditions. covers physical, chemical, biological mechanisms, highlighting complex interplay factors influencing these processes. Furthermore, it examines implications products, using animals as proxies assessing potential risks to human health. By synthesizing current research, focuses studies related small organisms (primarily rodents invertebrates, supplemented by fish mollusks) explore effects polymer living underscores urgency developing implementing effective waste management strategies. These strategies are crucial mitigating adverse impacts degradation, thus promoting more sustainable interaction between activities natural environment.

The global problem of microplastics in the environment is “inspiring” scientists to find environmentally friendly and economically viable methods remove these pollutants from environment. Advanced oxidation processes are among most promising methods. In this work, potential Fenton, photo-Fenton, Fenton-like for degradation low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) water suspensions was investigated. influence three parameters on efficiency process tested: pH medium (3–7), mass added iron (10–50 times less than microplastics), H2O2 (5–25 more iron). effectiveness treatment monitored by FTIR-ATR spectroscopy. After 60-min treatments, PP microparticles were found be insensitive. Fenton PVC photo-Fenton LDPE PVC, changes FTIR spectra related observed. cases, optimized. It that a low (3) high (optimal values 1/12 1/10 respectively) favored all three. concentrations (25 higher iron), while significantly lower (11 15 treatment, respectively), suggesting scavenging activity occurs.

Introduction Global microplastic (MP) pollution is now well recognized, with humans and animals consuming inhaling MPs on a daily basis, growing body of concern surrounding the potential impacts human health. Methods Using mouse model mild COVID-19, we describe herein effects azide-free 1 μm polystyrene MP beads, co-delivered into lungs SARS-CoV-2 omicron BA.5 inoculum. The effect host response to infection was analysed using histopathology RNA-Seq at 2 6 days post-infection (dpi). Results Although reduced clearance from lung, virus titres viral RNA levels were not significantly affected by MPs, overt MP-associated clinical or histopathological changes observed. However, infected revealed that exposure suppressed innate immune responses dpi increased pro-inflammatory signatures dpi. cytokine profile showed significant correlation ‘cytokine release syndrome’ signature observed in some COVID-19 patients. Discussion findings are consistent recent finding can inhibit phagocytosis apoptotic cells via binding Tim4. They also add literature suggesting dysregulate inflammatory processes specific disease settings.
