Summary

This review examines the harmful effects of microplastic pollution on terrestrial and marine ecosystems and surveys potential bioremediation strategies — including microbial, phytoremediation, and combined approaches — for mitigating contamination. Given that microplastics persist indefinitely in the environment and accumulate in food webs, identifying effective bioremediation pathways is essential for reducing the chronic dietary and environmental exposure burden on human and animal populations.

Ecosystems on land and in the sea are now being threatened by Microplastic (MP) pollution. It is numerous, persistent in the environment, and intricate. Concerns about the impact of MP pollution on ecosystems on the environment, economy, and society have drawn a lot...
