Recent advances of microplastics toxicity and fate on zebrafish-a review
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesizes evidence on how micro- and nanoplastics cause developmental, reproductive, gastrointestinal, and oxidative stress toxicity in zebrafish, positioning the species as a valuable vertebrate model for understanding plastic pollutant effects across trophic levels. Zebrafish research is accelerating mechanistic understanding of how microplastics harm vertebrate biology, providing insights relevant to assessing risks for fish-eating wildlife and humans.
Microplastic Pollution in Indian Aquatic Ecosystems: Insights and Implications
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers documented widespread microplastic contamination across Indian lakes, rivers, and coastal waters — including in remote high-altitude regions like Ladakh — showing that no aquatic ecosystem in the country is untouched, with direct implications for the hundreds of millions of people who depend on these water sources.
Microplastic Contamination in Aquatic Organisms: An Ecotoxicological Perspective
AI summary Read the abstract
"This ecotoxicological review examined how microplastics accumulate in aquatic organisms across multiple trophic levels, documenting impacts on physiology, reproduction, and behavior, as well as the transport of associated chemical contaminants through food webs. Because humans sit at the top of aquatic food chains, the bioaccumulation dynamics described here translate directly into dietary microplastic exposure, making ecotoxicological endpoints in fish and shellfish key indicators of human health risk."
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.
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.
