Environmental science and mental health review: final report to NERC valuing nature programme
Summary
This report reviewed connections between environmental science and mental health, identifying gaps and future research directions. The broader context includes concerns about how environmental contaminants like microplastics may contribute to psychological stress and health anxiety.
The project sought to examine where and how the environmental sciences might contribute to the mental health domain, and to identify exemplar case studies, highlight gaps, and outline areas for potential future investment. The final report, which summaries findings from the project, is now published.

Effects of Microplastics on Mental Health
This review examines the emerging evidence linking microplastic exposure to mental health outcomes, discussing proposed mechanisms including neuroinflammation, gut-brain axis disruption, and endocrine interference from plastic-associated chemicals. The authors call for dedicated human cohort studies to establish whether environmental microplastic levels contribute to psychiatric or cognitive conditions.
Nutrition and Mental Well-Being: Exploring Connections and Holistic Approaches
Researchers surveyed over 1,700 people to explore links between diet, lifestyle, and mental well-being. The study found that respondents with better nutritional habits and regular physical activity reported fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression. While not focused on microplastics specifically, the findings reinforce the connection between what we consume, how we live, and our psychological health.
How Do Nanoplastics and Microplastics Impact Human Health?
This review examines how nanoplastics and microplastics impact human health not only through direct particle exposure but also indirectly through their degradation of ecosystem services and environmental health. The authors synthesize evidence showing MPs are omnipresent in nature, that NPs are accumulating as MP fragmentation continues, and that the combined direct and indirect pathways represent a growing and multifaceted human health concern.
Wasting the Restorative Potential: Influences of Plastic and Biowaste on Psychological Restoration After Real, Virtual, and Imagined Walks
Researchers conducted three studies examining how plastic litter and biowaste in natural environments diminish the psychological restorative benefits of spending time in nature, finding that even imagined or virtually depicted litter reduced positive affect and perceived restoration. The findings highlight pollution as a threat not only to ecological health but also to human mental wellbeing.
Hierarchy of demographic and social determinants of mental health: analysis of cross-sectional survey data from the Global Mind Project
This large cross-sectional study analyzed data from the Global Mind Project to understand how social and demographic factors shape mental health outcomes. The researchers found that social determinants like trauma, adversity, and lifestyle account for 60-90% of mental health challenges. While not focused on microplastics, the findings are relevant because environmental pollution exposure is an emerging social determinant of health that may contribute to the unexplained portion of mental health challenges, especially in younger people.
