Summary

This review examines the behavior of microplastics in aquatic environments with a focus on the Plastisphere - microbial communities colonizing plastic surfaces that form a novel marine ecosystem. The review synthesizes information on Plastisphere formation mechanisms, distribution in water, risks associated with pathogen and pollutant transport, and potential applications for removing microplastics from contaminated water.

На основе недавно опубликованных статей зарубежных авторов обобщена информация, посвященная механизму образования пластисферы, ее распределению и поведению в водной среде; рискам, связанным с переносом загрязняющих и болезнетворных субстанций; а также использованию этого явления для очистки загрязненных вод от микропластика. Based on foreign authors’ articles published recently, information has been summarized on the mechanism of plastisphere formation, its distribution and behavior in the aquatic medium; the risks associated with the transport of pollutants and pathogens; and the use of this phenomenon to purify contaminated waters from microplastics.
