A Critical Review on Biological Impacts, Ecotoxicity, and Health Risks Associated with Microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers review the biological impacts and ecotoxicity of microplastics across ecosystems, documenting how these persistent particles transfer through trophic levels, disrupt feeding behavior, obstruct digestive tracts, impair respiratory and reproductive systems in aquatic species, and have been detected in human placentas, while calling for stronger regulations to limit environmental accumulation.
Microplastics in Animals – A Global Concern to Food Safety and Human Health
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics accumulate in livestock and farmed animals, documenting contamination across meat, milk, and egg production systems and raising concerns about how animal-derived foods serve as a direct pathway for human microplastic ingestion.
Interventions for animal hazards caused by micro/nano plastics exposure: a systematic review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers systematically reviewed interventions for mitigating organ damage from micro- and nanoplastic exposure in animals, finding that natural product extracts, probiotics, and pharmaceuticals show promise but remain early-stage, with no universal intervention method yet established and respiratory system interventions notably absent from the literature.
Introduction to Microplastics: Origin, Environmental Pathways, and Impacts on Ecosystems and Human Health
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers introduced the origins, environmental transport pathways, and ecosystem impacts of microplastics, tracing how the non-biodegradable nature of plastics combined with poor waste management has driven pollution of terrestrial, aquatic, and human biological systems.
