The way of microplastic through the environment – Application of the source-pathway-receptor model (review)
AI summary Read the abstract
This review applies the Source-Pathway-Receptor model to organize current knowledge about how microplastics move through the environment. The authors found that while more studies on environmental microplastic concentrations are being published, a comprehensive risk assessment remains impossible due to gaps in understanding transport processes. The study provides a methodological framework to help guide future research and risk assessments for microplastic pollution.
Transport Mechanism of Microplastic in the Environment
AI summary Read the abstract
This review described the physical and chemical mechanisms by which microplastics are transported through air, water, and soil — including atmospheric deposition, hydrological flow, bioturbation, and biofouling — that collectively explain their detection in remote environments from Arctic sea ice to mountain summits. Elucidating these transport mechanisms reveals that no geographic location or ecosystem is isolated from microplastic contamination, underscoring the inevitability of human exposure through air, water, and food globally.
Continental microplastics: Presence, features, and environmental transport pathways
AI summary Read the abstract
This review mapped the known transport pathways of microplastics across continental environments — air, soil, freshwater, and marine — synthesizing evidence on how particles move between compartments and identifying key gaps in understanding long-range terrestrial transport.
Global transportation of plastics and microplastics: A critical review of pathways and influences
AI summary Read the abstract
This review maps out the global pathways through which plastics and microplastics move through the environment, including water cycles, atmospheric transport, ocean currents, and biological transfer. Researchers found that human activities contribute at every stage of plastic transportation, from initial release to final accumulation in remote environments. The study emphasizes that plastic pollution is an extraordinarily complex issue involving both natural and human-driven dynamics that require coordinated global research.
Microplastic Pollution: Fate, Sources, Transport and Identification
AI summary Read the abstract
This review summarizes the sources, fate, transport, and identification methods for microplastics in aquatic and terrestrial environments, highlighting their global distribution across all ecosystems and the growing concern for their impacts on marine life, other organisms, and human health.
