Biochemical Effects of Microplastics on Human Health: A Comprehensive Review
AI summary Read the abstract
A comprehensive review documents how microplastics enter the human body through ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact, then reach the lungs, liver, kidneys, brain, and reproductive organs, triggering oxidative stress, inflammation, endocrine disruption, and genotoxicity. These biochemical pathways link microplastic exposure to serious chronic conditions including metabolic syndrome, neurodegenerative disease, reproductive dysfunction, and cancer.
Microplastic Toxicity in Aquatic Organisms and Aquatic Ecosystems: a Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics move through aquatic food webs, finding evidence that these particles accumulate across trophic levels, but noted that most toxicity studies are conducted in labs rather than real ecosystems, leaving major gaps in understanding the true ecological and human health risks.
Ecotoxicity of Microplastic Pollutants to Marine Organisms: a Systematic Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted a systematic quantitative literature review of microplastic ecotoxicity in marine organisms, finding that polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene particles (1–100 µm) are most commonly ingested and cause mortality, reproductive impairment, genotoxicity, and behavioral effects across a wide range of species.
Ecotoxicological Consequences of Microplastics in Aquatic Life
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics — tiny plastic particles under 5mm — harm aquatic ecosystems, documenting that fish, invertebrates, and other marine life can ingest them, leading to physical damage, toxic chemical exposure, and disruptions to feeding and reproduction.
Environmental Fate and Effects of Microplastics on Organisms
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examined the environmental fate of microplastics — including fragmentation dynamics, sorption of co-contaminants, and bioaccumulation through food webs — alongside their toxic effects on organisms ranging from invertebrates to mammals. Understanding how plastics persist, concentrate toxicants, and biomagnify through trophic levels is essential for predicting long-term health consequences for wildlife and human consumers.
