Summary

This special issue explores ecotoxicological effects of anthropogenic contaminants in aquatic organisms, covering a range of pollutants including metals and microplastics that have accumulated in aquatic environments since the industrial revolution.

In human history, many key points have characterized technological progress, such as the use of metals, which began in prehistoric times and continues to the present day, with many industrial uses [...].

A review: Research progress on microplastic pollutants in aquatic environments

This review summarizes current research on microplastic pollution in aquatic environments, including sources, detection methods, and ecological effects. The study highlights that microplastics can carry heavy metals and organic pollutants, forming complex contaminant combinations that accumulate through the food chain with potentially unpredictable consequences for both aquatic life and human health.
