Ecotoxicity Assessment of Microplastics on Aquatic Life
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers assessed the ecotoxicological effects of microplastics on aquatic life across marine and freshwater systems, finding that organisms at multiple trophic levels ingest plastic particles, leading to physical harm, chemical toxicity, and secondary effects that propagate through food webs.
Micro/nanoplastics in Aquatic Ecosystems: An Integrated Review of Occurrence, Toxicological Implications, Case Studies, Methodologies, and Future Recommendations
AI summary Read the abstract
This integrated review covers the occurrence, toxicology, and detection of micro- and nanoplastics across freshwater, marine, and estuarine ecosystems, using case studies to illustrate biomagnification through aquatic food webs and the compounding risk from co-occurring chemical contaminants. The review calls for stronger international collaboration and policy frameworks grounded in scientific evidence, recognizing that the pervasive nature of micro- and nanoplastics in aquatic systems poses escalating risks to both ecosystem integrity and human health.
Nanoplastics in Wastewater: Monitoring, Ecotoxicity, and Remediation
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers explore the challenges posed by nanoplastics in wastewater, examining monitoring methods for detecting these extremely small particles, their ecotoxicity to aquatic organisms and ecosystems, and promising remediation strategies for reducing nanoplastic contamination before treated water is discharged into the environment.
Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Aquatic Environments: Challenges and Threats to Aquatic Organisms
AI summary Read the abstract
Micro- and nanoplastics have been detected across a wide range of aquatic organisms from microalgae to fish, disrupting metabolic, physiological, and behavioral processes at both cellular and ecosystem levels. Their persistence and increasing abundance in oceans make them a growing food safety threat as plastic contamination moves up the aquatic food chain toward human consumption.
Methodology of Assessing Microplastics and Nanoplastics in the Environment: Recent Advances in the Practical Approaches
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed recent advances in practical analytical methodologies for detecting and characterizing microplastics and nanoplastics across environmental matrices including water, soil, and food. Reliable, standardized detection methods are foundational to understanding the true scale of human exposure to micro- and nanoplastics and to evaluating whether remediation and regulatory efforts are having measurable impact.
