Microplastic Pollution of the Environment and Potential Threats to Human Health
Original title: Microplastic Pollution of the Environment and Potential Threats to Human Health
AI summary Read the abstract
This Russian-language critical review analyzed scientific research on microplastic contamination risks to the environment and human health, synthesizing studies published from 2018 to 2024 sourced from PubMed and other scientific databases. The review assessed exposure pathways, bioaccumulation evidence, and potential health effects of microplastic particles.

Microplastics Pollution in Water is a Threat for Human Health and the Environment (literature Review)
AI summary Read the abstract
This Russian literature review synthesizes evidence that microplastics are widespread in water bodies and drinking water, threatening human health through physical irritation, toxic chemical leaching, and microbial attachment. It notes that microplastics have been documented in aquatic organisms — including fish in Russian rivers — and that contaminated seafood is a key pathway for human exposure. The paper identifies critical gaps: there are no standardized sampling methods or regulatory limits for microplastics in drinking water in Russia.
Plastic in the Biosphere – Risks to Biota and Human Health in Russia
AI summary Read the abstract
This Russian literature review summarizes a decade of research on how plastics harm wildlife and human health, finding that large plastic debris poses the greatest risk to large animals while micro- and nanoparticles affect small mammals' eating, movement, and reproduction, and that plastic-associated chemicals like bisphenols and phthalates are the primary concern for human health. The review concludes that current evidence does not yet allow a direct link between plastic exposure and specific human diseases, but calls for transitioning to less toxic biodegradable plastics and improving recycling.
