Polystyrene microplastics: environmental presence, pathways, and biological impact
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the environmental presence, transport pathways, and biological impacts of polystyrene microplastics, documenting how widespread food packaging use leads to pervasive contamination of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and raises concerns for organismal and human health.
Microplastics in aquatic environment: fate, human exposure, removal and advances of nanotechnology in remediation
AI summary Read the abstract
This review traces microplastic pathways from aquatic sources — including seafood, drinking water, and sea salt — through the human food chain, estimating up to 26,250 microplastic particles ingested per person annually from seafood alone, while also cataloging the toxic additives and co-transported heavy metals these particles carry. It evaluates physical, chemical, and biological removal methods before identifying nanotechnology-based approaches as the most promising next generation of water treatment for microplastic elimination.
