Detailed Examination of the Adverse Effects of Micropollutants on Ecosystems and Human Health
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined how micropollutants—including microplastics, pharmaceuticals, and banned agrochemicals—persist in the environment and bioaccumulate in organisms, finding that the combination of population growth, climate change, and pollution poses compounding threats to ecosystem and human health.
As the global population grows, climate change and pollution increasingly threaten ecosystems and human health. Micropollutants, including banned agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and microplastics, persist in the environment and bioaccumulate organisms. According to...

Assessment and Fate of Micropollutants in the Environment
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the sources, behavior, and environmental fate of micropollutants — including microplastics, heavy metals, and industrial chemicals — finding that these persistent contaminants spread widely through ecosystems and pose compounding risks to wildlife and human health.
Case Studies Illustrating the Occurrence and Impact of Micropollutants in Different Environment
AI summary Read the abstract
This chapter presents case studies on micropollutant occurrence across different environments, examining how microplastics, heavy metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals interact and persist in ecosystems. The co-occurrence of these contaminants is particularly concerning because microplastics act as vectors that adsorb and concentrate other toxic pollutants, amplifying their bioavailability and health risks.
