Sustainable Management of Microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed sustainable management approaches for microplastic pollution, tracing particle origins from personal care products, synthetic textiles, and plastic debris, and evaluating strategies for reducing environmental accumulation and mitigating impacts on human and ecosystem health.
Concern over the effects of Microplastics (MPLs) on humans and the entire natural world has grown in the last few decades. Particles like these originate from a multitude of sources, including personal hygiene products, soapy products, and the detritus of larger...

Sustainable Management and Valorization of Microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines sustainable strategies for managing and valorizing microplastic pollution across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, exploring remediation alternatives ranging from biological to advanced engineering approaches. Understanding viable management pathways is essential for addressing the persistent, ubiquitous threat microplastics pose to ecosystems and ultimately human health through food and water contamination.
Emerging Trends in Microplastic Pollution Management
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers highlight that microplastic pollution in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems is increasing exponentially, contaminating human food items at growing rates, and examine emerging trends and management strategies needed to address this accelerating global challenge.
Issues of Microplastics and Sustainable Removal Techniques
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the distribution of microplastics across environmental compartments and assessed sustainable removal techniques including filtration, bioremediation, and advanced oxidation processes. Because microplastics persist ubiquitously in air, water, soil, and food, no single removal method is sufficient — this review frames the scale of the challenge and the need for integrated, multi-stage mitigation strategies.
Microplastics pollution and reduction strategies
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastic particles smaller than 5mm—originating from cosmetic microbeads, synthetic fiber washing, and degraded plastic litter—accumulate in aquatic environments and enter human food chains through ingestion by marine fauna including fish, shellfish, and zooplankton. Effective mitigation requires combining source reduction strategies with emerging biodegradation and bioremediation technologies targeting common polymers like polyethylene, polystyrene, and PET.
Microplastic Pollution and Reduction Strategies
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed global microplastic pollution pathways, ecosystem behavior, and human health impacts, arguing that scientific clarity on these issues is a prerequisite for setting effective regulatory restrictions and developing reduction strategies at the policy level.
