Time to integrate “One Health Approach” into nanoplastic research
AI summary Read the abstract
This commentary argues that nanoplastic research needs to adopt a "One Health" framework that considers the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems as deeply interconnected rather than studying each in isolation. Applying this approach could lead to more comprehensive and actionable findings about how nanoplastics affect living systems across scales.

Key knowledge gaps for One Health approach to mitigate nanoplastic risks
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers identified critical knowledge gaps in understanding nanoplastic risks, arguing that nanoplastics — plastic particles smaller than 1 micrometer — should be treated as complex mixtures carrying chemical additives and contaminants, and calling for a coordinated "One Health" approach that links environmental, animal, and human health research.
Invisible Contamination: a One Health Perspective on Micro and Nanoplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
This systematic review takes a One Health approach to examine how micro- and nanoplastics affect humans, animals, and the environment as interconnected systems. The research shows that plastics accumulate across food chains and can cause toxic effects in multiple species, including humans. The One Health perspective is important because it recognizes that microplastic pollution in the environment inevitably becomes a human health problem.
Plastic Not-So-Fantastic: A One Health Approach to a Growing Crisis
AI summary Read the abstract
This One Health perspective reviews how microplastics affect environmental, animal, and human health, synthesizing evidence that these particles disrupt ecosystems and accumulate in tissues across species, underscoring the need for an integrated response.
Microplastics: A One Health priority agenda
AI summary Read the abstract
This commentary argues that microplastics should be treated as a One Health priority requiring interdisciplinary action, given that particles are found in all environmental sectors and pose simultaneous risks to crops, animals, wildlife, and humans.
One Health
AI summary Read the abstract
This editorial introduces a journal issue focused on the One Health framework, which recognizes the interconnection between human, animal, and ecosystem health, and highlights how environmental pollutants including microplastics are increasingly central to One Health concerns.
