Microplásticos: Presencia y diseminación en el medio ambiente
Summary
This Spanish-language review examines the current state of microplastic research, covering characterization methods, their presence in water, soil, and air, impacts on food webs and human health, and strategies needed to address this global environmental challenge.
Los microplásticos (MPs) constituyen un serio tema ambiental de la sociedad actual, producto del modo de vida moderno en el que todo ocurre a gran velocidad y donde los productos plásticos de un solo uso se han acumulado en todo el planeta. En este trabajo de revisión, se plantea la situación actual en cuestión de caracterización y las mejoras que son necesarias para su optimización. Tambien se discuten los efectos de los MPs sobre el medio ambiente (agua, tierra y aire), las redes tróficas y los mecanismos a través de los cuales se pueden transferir de microorganismos a seres superiores, así como su efecto sobre el ser humano.

Los microplásticos en el entorno acuático: Un vistazo a la cinética, mecanismo de degradación, impacto ambiental y en la salud humana
This Spanish-language review examines how microplastics enter aquatic ecosystems, how they degrade over time, and what their environmental and human health effects may be. The authors report that microplastics have now reached even pristine environments like the polar regions, and that their ingestion by diverse organisms raises serious questions about long-term ecosystem health. The review highlights the urgent need for better understanding of microplastic toxicity and fate in water bodies.
