A State-of-Art Review on Toxicity and Effect of Micro/Nano Plastic on Water Life: Current Statistics and Bioremediation Strategy
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers review the toxicological effects of micro- and nanoplastics on aquatic organisms, compiling current data on contamination levels in water bodies and evaluating bioremediation strategies for reducing plastic pollution driven by growing urbanization and industrialization.
Urbanization and industrialization increases with the increase of population and its demand for goods and services. Use of plastics is very common in our daily life. We all live in the world where people are in practice to utilized plastics bags, bottles, and...

A Review on Aquatic Impacts of Microplastics and Its Bioremediation Aspects
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastics enter aquatic ecosystems through improper disposal, causing reduced feeding, lower fecundity, inflammation, and gene-level changes in aquatic organisms. Bacterial biodegradation shows promise as an eco-friendly remediation approach, as microbes can enzymatically break down plastic particles into carbon dioxide, methane, and water.
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.
Micro/Nanoplastic Toxicity on Aquatic Life: Fate, Effect and Remediation Strategy Treatment: A Review on Possible Solution Scenarios for Bioremediation in Real Wastewater Treatment
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers review the fate and toxicological effects of micro- and nanoplastics on aquatic life, and evaluate bioremediation strategies — including microorganism- and plant-based approaches — as potential solutions for removing plastic particles in real-world wastewater treatment scenarios.
Distribution and Impact of Microplastics in the Aquatic Systems: A Review of Ecotoxicological Effects on Biota
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics are distributed across marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments and the toxic effects they have on a wide range of organisms. Fish, invertebrates, and other animals that ingest microplastics experience physical harm, chemical toxicity, and reproductive disruption — effects that may ultimately reach humans through the food chain.
Micro/nanoplastics in Aquatic Ecosystems: An Integrated Review of Occurrence, Toxicological Implications, Case Studies, Methodologies, and Future Recommendations
AI summary Read the abstract
This integrated review covers the occurrence, toxicology, and detection of micro- and nanoplastics across freshwater, marine, and estuarine ecosystems, using case studies to illustrate biomagnification through aquatic food webs and the compounding risk from co-occurring chemical contaminants. The review calls for stronger international collaboration and policy frameworks grounded in scientific evidence, recognizing that the pervasive nature of micro- and nanoplastics in aquatic systems poses escalating risks to both ecosystem integrity and human health.
