Microplastics in the Marine Environment: Sources, Distribution, Biological Effects and Socio-Economic Impacts
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the sources, distribution, biological effects, and socioeconomic impacts of microplastic pollution in marine environments, finding that rivers and estuaries are the primary land-to-ocean transport pathways. The review emphasizes that microplastics transfer adsorbed pollutants and additives through food webs to top predators, and that reducing plastic production and improving waste management are essential long-term solutions.
Hazards of microplastics on human health and its mitigation strategies
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how humans are exposed to microplastics through eating, breathing, and skin contact, finding that lab studies link microplastic exposure to oxidative stress, inflammation, and DNA damage, though the long-term health effects in humans remain poorly understood and need further study.
Hazards of Microplastic in Oceanic Environment: An Assessment
AI summary Read the abstract
Ocean plastic debris persists for thousands of years without biodegrading, fragmenting progressively into microplastics that accumulate in marine food webs and carry adsorbed toxic chemicals across vast oceanic distances. The non-biodegradable persistence of these particles means current pollution levels represent a long-term contamination baseline that will affect marine ecosystems and seafood safety for generations.
Environmental Risks and Human Health Impact of Microplastic Pollution
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined the sources, environmental pathways, and human health impacts of microplastic pollution, providing a comprehensive analysis of how microplastics enter ecosystems and the body and the potential risks they pose to human well-being.
Examining the Environmental Concerns Caused by the Microplastic Contamination in Marine Ecosystem
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines the environmental concerns posed by microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems, surveying sources, distribution patterns, biological impacts on marine organisms, and pathways of entry into food chains. As marine microplastics accumulate in fish, shellfish, and other seafood, they represent a direct and growing dietary exposure route for humans consuming ocean-derived food products.
