Microplastics: An Unsafe Pathway from Aquatic Environment to Health—A Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics travel from aquatic environments into the human body, tracing pathways through contaminated water, seafood, and aquatic food chains, and highlighting gaps in our understanding of the resulting health risks across multiple organ systems.
Current State of Research on the Prevalence of Microplastics in Aquatic Fish and Their Impact on Health
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microplastic contamination in fish across all seven continents, finding marine fish were studied 2.6 times more than freshwater species, and that microplastics trigger oxidative stress, alter biochemical pathways, and accumulate through biotransformation in fish tissues globally.
Microplastics Are Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Aquatic Environments: An Overview
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the sources, distribution, and ecological risks of microplastics as contaminants of emerging concern in aquatic environments, documenting pathways from industrial discharge and wastewater treatment plants and highlighting their capacity to adsorb other pollutants and harm aquatic life.
Ecotoxicological Consequences of Microplastics in Aquatic Life
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics — tiny plastic particles under 5mm — harm aquatic ecosystems, documenting that fish, invertebrates, and other marine life can ingest them, leading to physical damage, toxic chemical exposure, and disruptions to feeding and reproduction.
Microplastics in Aquatic Systems: Sources, Accumulation, Environmental Impact and Mitigation Strategies
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesizes how microplastics enter aquatic ecosystems, where they accumulate, and what harm they cause to wildlife and water quality — while also evaluating mitigation strategies, highlighting that both primary sources like microbeads and secondary sources like degrading plastic waste need to be addressed.
