Summary

This review analyzed how nano- and microplastics interact with terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, evaluating their effects on biodiversity, soil health, and water quality in the context of UN Sustainable Development Goals. The study underscores that microplastic pollution is not merely an environmental concern but a systemic threat to the ecological foundations underpinning food security, clean water access, and planetary health.

Nanoplastics (NPs) and micro-plastics (MPs) are persistent pollutants present in multiple spheres of the environment. Terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are significant sinks of these contaminants; however, studies on the interaction of NPs and MPs with ecosystem...
