Occurrence and Ecotoxicological Effects of Microplastics on Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecosystems

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed how microplastics — now present in the water we drink, the food we eat, and the air we breathe — accumulate in and harm both aquatic and land-based ecosystems, highlighting the broad reach of plastic pollution as a threat to wildlife and potentially to human health.

Microplastics and the Environment: A Review

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed the widespread presence of microplastics in aquatic environments, finding that these tiny plastic particles — made up of complex chemical and polymer combinations — have become critical contaminants in water and sediment globally. The review underscores growing concern about their ecological impact and the need for more targeted research and mitigation strategies.

Microplastics in Terrestrial Ecosystem: Degradation Strategies for Its Mitigation

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewing microplastic degradation strategies in terrestrial ecosystems found that pandemic-related increases in single-use plastic use have worsened soil contamination, and evaluated biodegradation, photodegradation, and other mitigation approaches for reducing microplastic persistence in soil environments.

Microplastics Effects in the Terrestrial Environment

AI summary Read the abstract

Microplastics released into soil systems interact with complex terrestrial matrices in ways that threaten soil health, plant uptake, and the organisms that depend on healthy soils, including humans who consume agricultural produce. Their resilience and long environmental persistence make soil microplastic contamination particularly difficult to remediate once established.

Microplastics Effects in the Terrestrial Environment

AI summary Read the abstract

Microplastics released into soil systems interact with soil chemistry, microbial communities, and plant uptake pathways in ways that threaten terrestrial ecosystem health over time. Because soils are foundational to food production and filter water that reaches humans, microplastic accumulation in terrestrial environments carries direct implications for agricultural safety and human dietary exposure.
