Ecotoxicokinetics As a Section of Ecotoxicology (Review)
AI summary Read the abstract
This review discusses advances in ecotoxicokinetics as a subdiscipline of ecotoxicology, focusing on patterns of ecotoxicant distribution, accumulation, and transformation in environmental compartments. Researchers examined how kinetic processes governing contaminant fate, including microplastics and associated chemicals, influence the manifestation of toxic effects across ecosystems.
The review discusses the main achievements of ecotoxicokinetics as a section of ecotoxicology in the research of patterns of ecotoxicants distribution, accumulation and transformation in the environment and the influence of these processes on the manifestation of toxic effects in ecosystems. The paper indicates the role of ecotoxicokinetics in the development of methods for removing ecotoxicants from ecosystems using biotransformation and bioaccumulation and improving environmental pollution monitoring. Special attention is paid to the current study of the behavior of pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and nanoparticles in ecosystem components, as well as to analysis of problems encountered and approaches to their solution within the framework of ecotoxicokinetics.

A review of microplastics in the aquatic environmental: distribution, transport, ecotoxicology, and toxicological mechanisms
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines how microplastics are distributed, transported, and accumulate throughout aquatic environments, and the toxicological effects they have on aquatic organisms. The study suggests that microplastics can affect human health through the food chain, but notes that understanding of combined toxicity mechanisms remains very limited. The authors identify significant knowledge gaps and call for more systematic environmental risk assessments across multiple species.
