Nanoplastics in Wastewater: Monitoring, Ecotoxicity, and Remediation
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers explore the challenges posed by nanoplastics in wastewater, examining monitoring methods for detecting these extremely small particles, their ecotoxicity to aquatic organisms and ecosystems, and promising remediation strategies for reducing nanoplastic contamination before treated water is discharged into the environment.
Microplastics in aquatic environment: fate, human exposure, removal and advances of nanotechnology in remediation
AI summary Read the abstract
This review traces microplastic pathways from aquatic sources — including seafood, drinking water, and sea salt — through the human food chain, estimating up to 26,250 microplastic particles ingested per person annually from seafood alone, while also cataloging the toxic additives and co-transported heavy metals these particles carry. It evaluates physical, chemical, and biological removal methods before identifying nanotechnology-based approaches as the most promising next generation of water treatment for microplastic elimination.
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.
