Microplastics: A One Health priority agenda

Interdisciplinary approaches are increasingly recognized as crucial for strengthening and integrating health systems. The implementation within One Health framework needs more guidelines for successful execution. Microplastics have become a growing environmental concern, as they are collectively found in all environmental sectors. Microplastics pose risks to crops, plants, animals, wildlife and human due to the persistence and bio-accumulative properties. Microplastics are directly and indirectly associated with climate change, not only threatening food security but also leading to the novel distribution of species that may transmit new pathogens. This article focused on the ubiquitous presence of microplastics in One Health, highlighting the necessity for further research and implementation efforts.
