Summary

Researchers examined the ecotoxicological effects of microplastics as emerging micropollutants, reviewing biomarker responses across terrestrial and aquatic organisms and highlighting how combined environmental stressors amplify the harm microplastics pose to biodiversity and ecosystem function.

Known ubiquitously, including in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, microplastics (MPs) are pollutants of concern and their harmful effects pose a growing threat. MPs, especially when considered together with increasing pollution and destructions in the ecosystem,...
