Assessment of risks and interactions of pollutants in the environment
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines the pathways by which various pollutants enter the environment through natural processes and human activities, covering primary and secondary pollutants, water contaminants, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, agricultural chemicals, and microplastics. The paper assesses the risks and interactions among these novel entities, highlighting the cumulative burden they place on ecosystems and human health.
Abstract Pollutants or novel entities are the atoms, molecules, and particles that come up with as pollution. This paper discusses the several ways that pollutants can enter the environment, both naturally and via human activity. There exist several kinds of pollutant which includes primary pollutant, secondary pollutant, water pollutants, anthropogenic contaminants, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products contaminants, pollutants from agricultural products, contaminants from narcotics and other drugs, personal care products, contaminants from the food industry and microplastics are present just in the environment possess severe dangers to human health and aquatic creatures. Our study aims to demonstrate the imperative need to detect substances that could pose a concern to receptors from an analytical standpoint, new techniques must be developed. Additionally, it is necessary to construct a more thorough environmental risk assessment. To this objective, chemical and biological analyses have to be coupled to get a better evaluation of the harm that Emerging contaminants does to the environment.

Principal Sources, Fate, and Mechanism of Chemical Mixtures in the Environment
AI summary Read the abstract
This review investigates the sources, formation pathways, and environmental fate of chemical mixtures, including how different pollutants interact when they coexist in natural settings. The study highlights that the combined effects of chemical mixtures on ecosystems and human health have been largely overlooked, even though real-world environmental contamination almost always involves multiple pollutants at once.
Interactions of microplastics with organic, inorganic and bio-pollutants and the ecotoxicological effects on terrestrial and aquatic organisms
AI summary Read the abstract
This review systematically examines how microplastics interact with organic pollutants, heavy metals, and biological contaminants in the environment. Researchers found that microplastics can adsorb and transport these pollutants, creating complex combinations that may be more toxic to organisms than either pollutant alone. The study highlights the risks these interactions pose to both ecosystem health and human well-being.
Microplastics and environmental pollutants: Key interaction and toxicology in aquatic and soil environments
AI summary Read the abstract
This review tracks how microplastics move through soil, water, and air ecosystems, acting as carriers for other pollutants like pesticides and heavy metals. When microplastics absorb these toxins, the combined effect on organisms can be worse than either pollutant alone. The paper highlights the need for better understanding of how these pollutant combinations affect ecosystems and ultimately human health through contaminated food and water.
Micropollutants in Environment
AI summary Read the abstract
This review provides an overview of micropollutants in the environment, including pharmaceutical products, pesticides, textile dyes, and microplastics, and how they enter the food chain. Researchers summarized the adverse health effects these contaminants can cause in both animals and humans through ingestion and inhalation. The study emphasizes the interconnected nature of different pollution types and the need for comprehensive monitoring approaches.
