The One Health Concept

This article explains the One Health concept, which recognizes that human health, animal health, and environmental health are deeply interconnected. Environmental threats like pollution, including microplastic contamination, affect all three domains simultaneously. The framework is relevant to understanding microplastic risks because plastics move through ecosystems, accumulate in animals, and ultimately reach humans through the food chain and environment.

Environmental pollution and One Health: An integrated threat to global health

This review examines environmental pollution through the One Health framework, which recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. Researchers found that pollutants including heavy metals, microplastics, and chemical contaminants circulate continuously between ecosystems, animals, and human populations, creating cascading health effects. The study calls for integrated, cross-disciplinary approaches to address pollution as a shared threat across all domains of health.

The ocean and microplastics: a One Health approach

This paper examines ocean microplastic pollution through a One Health framework, connecting marine ecosystem contamination to animal and human health impacts by tracing microplastic pathways from ocean sources through food webs to human exposure. The approach integrates ecological, veterinary, and public health perspectives to argue for a unified response to microplastic pollution as a cross-cutting environmental health challenge.

Time to integrate “One Health Approach” into nanoplastic research

This commentary argues that nanoplastic research needs to adopt a "One Health" framework that considers the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems as deeply interconnected rather than studying each in isolation. Applying this approach could lead to more comprehensive and actionable findings about how nanoplastics affect living systems across scales.

Microplastics: A One Health priority agenda

This commentary argues that microplastics should be treated as a One Health priority requiring interdisciplinary action, given that particles are found in all environmental sectors and pose simultaneous risks to crops, animals, wildlife, and humans.

A One Health perspective of the impacts of microplastics on animal, human and environmental health

This review takes a "One Health" approach to microplastics, examining how they affect animal health, human health, and the environment as interconnected systems. The authors caution that many lab studies use microplastic concentrations far higher than what is found in nature, making their results hard to apply to real-world risk. However, they note that microplastics can indirectly affect human health by disrupting ecosystems and soil processes that support food production and clean water.

Tackling the microplastics pandemic: the CLEAN framework as an integrated one health approach for global environmental and public health

This paper introduces the CLEAN framework as an integrated One Health approach for addressing microplastic pollution across environmental, animal, and human health domains. Researchers argue that current responses to microplastic contamination are fragmented and propose a systematic risk assessment and prevention strategy analogous to occupational health management. The framework aims to bridge gaps between environmental science, public health policy, and community-level action on microplastic exposure.

Environmental pollution and One Health: An integrated threat to global health

This review examines environmental pollution through the One Health lens, exploring how chemical contaminants, biological agents, and physical pollutants move between ecosystems, animals, and human populations. Researchers highlight that pollutants such as heavy metals, microplastics, and persistent organic compounds accumulate through food chains and disrupt biological systems across species. The study emphasizes that addressing pollution effectively requires coordinated approaches spanning human medicine, veterinary science, and environmental management.

A One Health Approach to Marine Health

This paper applies the One Health framework — which integrates human, animal, and environmental health — to the challenge of protecting marine ecosystems from climate change, plastic pollution, and overfishing. The authors argue that addressing ocean health requires interdisciplinary collaboration between public health, environmental science, and policy sectors.

Invisible Contamination: a One Health Perspective on Micro and Nanoplastics

This systematic review takes a One Health approach to examine how micro- and nanoplastics affect humans, animals, and the environment as interconnected systems. The research shows that plastics accumulate across food chains and can cause toxic effects in multiple species, including humans. The One Health perspective is important because it recognizes that microplastic pollution in the environment inevitably becomes a human health problem.

Environmental health: The most neglected part of one health

This commentary argues that environmental health — the health of ecosystems, water, air, and soil — is the most neglected component of the 'One Health' framework linking human, animal, and environmental health. Pollution, including from plastics and chemicals, degrades environmental health in ways that ultimately harm human and animal health. The author calls for greater integration of environmental health into global health policy.

Interactions between microplastics and microbiota in a One Health perspective

This review examines how microplastics interact with microbial communities across human, animal, and environmental settings using a One Health framework. Microplastics disrupt the normal balance of microbiota in the gut, soil, and water, and serve as surfaces where harmful bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes accumulate and spread. The authors argue that understanding these microplastic-microbe interactions across all domains of life is essential for protecting both ecosystem and human health.

One Health on islands: Tractable ecosystems to explore the nexus between human, animal, terrestrial, and marine health

This study proposes that islands serve as ideal natural laboratories for exploring the interconnections between human, animal, and environmental health under the One Health framework. Researchers argue that islands' discrete populations and well-studied ecosystems make them uniquely suited for understanding how contaminants like microplastics move through interconnected terrestrial and marine environments. The study highlights the potential for island-based research to untangle complex health relationships across biomes.

Relationship between climate change and environmental microplastics: a one health vision for the platysphere health

This review examines the two-way relationship between climate change and microplastic pollution: plastic production generates greenhouse gases, while extreme weather events spread microplastics further into the environment. The study uses a One Health framework to argue that addressing microplastic pollution and climate change together is essential for protecting human, animal, and environmental health.
