Microplastic hazard, management, remediation, and control strategies: a review

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed microplastic distribution and ecological impact across marine, freshwater, terrestrial, and human systems, concluding that freshwater and soil environments remain understudied relative to marine contexts and that effective remediation will require improved detection techniques alongside better-implemented waste management and biodegradation strategies.

Microplastics in the Environment: Its Sources, Occurrence, Impact on Human Health and Environment

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed the sources, global distribution, and ecological impacts of microplastics, documenting their presence in drinking water, air, marine and freshwater environments, biota, and table salt, and assessing the associated risks to environmental and human health.

Article Tier 2

Hazards of microplastics on human health and its mitigation strategies

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed how humans are exposed to microplastics through eating, breathing, and skin contact, finding that lab studies link microplastic exposure to oxidative stress, inflammation, and DNA damage, though the long-term health effects in humans remain poorly understood and need further study.

Microplastics in the environment: their sources, distribution, and dangerous status

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers assessed the environmental risks of microplastics in soil and aquatic ecosystems, finding that while evidence of contamination in water is substantial, the scale and biological impacts in soil remain poorly understood, with existing detection methods still inadequate for fully characterizing the threat.

Sources of Microplastics in the Environment and Human Exposure Routes: A Review

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed the major sources of environmental microplastic pollution — dominated by textiles, tires, and urban dust — and catalogued the primary human exposure routes via food, inhalation, and skin contact, noting that airborne MPs are an underestimated risk because fine particles can bypass respiratory defenses and penetrate deep into the lungs.
