Microplastic Pollution in Aquatic Environment: Ecotoxicological Effects and Bioremediation Prospects
AI summary Read the abstract
A comprehensive review examined the ecotoxicological effects of microplastics on aquatic organisms and assessed the potential of bioremediation strategies—including microorganisms and plants—to remove microplastics from contaminated water. As chemical and physical removal methods remain costly and incomplete, biological approaches offer promising complementary tools for reducing the aquatic microplastic burden that threatens both ecosystems and human health through contaminated seafood.
Microplastic (MP) Pollution: Environmental Fate, Eco-toxicity and Sustainable Remediation
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewing microplastic pollution across all Earth's biomes find these particles disrupt plant photosynthesis, cause hormonal and reproductive harm in aquatic animals, and trigger cytotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and immune dysregulation at the cellular level, while evaluating biodegradation, coagulation, and photocatalytic remediation strategies.
Interaction of Microplastics and Organic Pollutants: Quantification, Environmental Fates, and Ecological Consequences
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastics act as vectors for organic pollutants such as pesticides and industrial chemicals, concentrating and transporting these toxins to organisms that ingest the particles, amplifying exposure beyond what either contaminant would cause alone. This combined pollution effect complicates environmental risk assessments and underscores why microplastic contamination is more dangerous than particle counts alone suggest.
Toxicity of Microplastics on the Flora and Fauna of the Freshwater Ecosystem: An Overview
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the toxicity of microplastics ranging from 1 micrometer to 5 mm on flora and fauna in freshwater ecosystems, summarizing evidence of physical harm, chemical stress, and bioaccumulation across aquatic organisms from algae and invertebrates to fish.
The Removal of Microplastics as a Source for Toxic Chemicals in Aquatic Environments: Characteristics, Occurrence and Removal Mechanisms
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics spread through aquatic environments and carry toxic chemicals along with them, summarizing the characteristics of different plastic types and the removal mechanisms currently used to reduce microplastic contamination in water systems.
