Microplastic environmental behavior and health risk assessment: a review

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers comprehensively reviewed microplastic pollution across soil, water, and air environments, summarizing findings on aging, toxicity in model organisms, combined effects with heavy metals and endocrine disruptors, and risks to human gastrointestinal, pulmonary, reproductive, and cardiovascular health.

Microplastic Fate and Impacts in the Environment

AI summary Read the abstract

Microplastic pollution has been documented across virtually every ecosystem on Earth, from sea surfaces to deep sediments, polar regions to tropical rivers, and inside a wide range of organisms spanning multiple trophic levels. This comprehensive environmental presence confirms that microplastics pose systemic risks to biodiversity and human health through multiple exposure pathways.

Microplastic Fate and Impacts in the Environment

AI summary Read the abstract

Microplastic pollution has been documented across virtually every ecosystem on Earth — from ocean surfaces to deep-sea floors, polar regions to tropical soils, and in organisms spanning the full breadth of the food web. This pervasive distribution confirms that microplastic exposure is now universal and that understanding long-term fate and biological impacts is one of the most pressing environmental health challenges of our time.

Microplastics: A Novel Suite of Environmental Contaminants but Present for Decades

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed the decades-long history of microplastic contamination in aquatic environments, finding that despite growing scientific and public attention, the full scope of ecosystem and human health risks from persistent microplastic accumulation remains incompletely characterized.

Microplastics: A Novel Suite of Environmental Contaminants but Present for Decades

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed the history and scope of microplastic contamination in aquatic environments, finding that although recognized as a novel concern, microplastics have been accumulating in ecosystems for decades and pose growing but still incompletely understood risks to wildlife and human health.
