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.
Micro-nanoplastics in the Environment: Current Research and Trends
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers review current knowledge on micro- and nanoplastic distribution across environmental compartments, documenting ingestion and inhalation pathways through food chains and evaluating trends in contamination levels in agricultural, aquatic, and human biological systems.
Micro- and Nanoplastic Pollution in the Anthropocene: Understanding and Addressing a Global Crisis
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examining the Anthropocene's defining environmental crisis find that plastic pollution now threatens ecosystems, wildlife, and human health at a global scale, and evaluate current mitigation strategies while calling for sustainable solutions to move toward a plastic-free future.
Microplastics: An In-Depth Analysis of Its Fate, Environmental Impact, Implications, and Innovative Remediation Strategies
AI summary Read the abstract
Tiny plastic particles called microplastics are showing up everywhere in our lakes, rivers, and drinking water, picking up harmful chemicals along the way and working their way into the food chain, and potentially into us, where they may trigger inflammation, cell damage, and hormone disruption. This review paper rounds up existing research on where microplastics come from, how they harm aquatic life, and promising new cleanup methods, including using bacteria, nanotechnology, and even AI to detect and break them down. The takeaway: microplastic pollution is a growing health concern, but scientists are actively developing tools to fight back.
