Micro- and Nano-Plastics Contaminants in the Environment: Sources, Fate, Toxicity, Detection, Remediation, and Sustainable Perspectives
This review provides a broad overview of micro- and nanoplastic pollution, covering where these particles come from, how they spread through the environment, and the damage they cause to living things including humans. The authors also compare different methods for removing microplastics from the environment, including physical, chemical, and biological approaches. The paper calls for more research and global cooperation to develop better tools for measuring the health risks of plastic pollution.
Occurrence, impact, toxicity, and degradation methods of microplastics in environment—a review
This review summarizes current knowledge about microplastic pollution, covering where these particles come from, how they affect ecosystems, their toxic effects on organisms, and methods for breaking them down. Researchers found that microplastics are pervasive across aquatic and terrestrial environments and can harm organisms through ingestion, choking, and chemical exposure. The study examines physical, chemical, and biological degradation methods as potential tools for addressing microplastic contamination.
Pollution to Solution: Understanding and Addressing Microplastic Contamination in the Environment
This review synthesizes current knowledge on how microplastics and nanoplastics are distributed across freshwater and marine environments, how they interact with and are taken up by aquatic organisms, and what removal technologies show the most promise. It covers the full lifecycle from macroplastic fragmentation to nano-scale particles, and surveys physical, chemical, and biological treatment methods. The review provides a useful overview for researchers and environmental managers looking to understand the scope of the microplastic problem and identify where interventions are most needed.
Microplastics: Holistic overview of source, identification, interaction, health and environmental implications and strategies of abatement
This review provides a comprehensive overview of microplastic sources, identification methods, interactions with other pollutants, and impacts on the environment and human health. Microplastics are now found in virtually every ecosystem and enter the food chain through multiple routes, making them a global pollution crisis that requires urgent research and policy action.
Microplastics: a global threat to life and living
This comprehensive review summarizes what we know about microplastics, covering how they act in the environment, how they break down, and how scientists detect them. Microplastics serve as carriers for toxic chemicals and can harm both marine and land-based ecosystems at multiple levels. The review emphasizes that while some microorganisms can break down plastics, current biodegradation methods are far too slow to keep up with the scale of pollution.

Review of Recent Advances in Microplastic Ecological Risk Assessment: From Problem Formulation to Risk Characterization
This review of existing research shows that tiny plastic particles called microplastics are contaminating our environment and food chain, carrying harmful chemicals and pollutants that can end up in our bodies. Scientists still don't fully understand how dangerous these microplastics are to human health or how they move through the food we eat, from fish to drinking water. The researchers say we need better methods to study these risks so we can protect people and create policies to reduce plastic pollution.
Microplastic Pollution in Aquatic Ecosystems: Environmental Behaviour, Biological Impacts, and Public Health Implications- A Comprehensive Review
This review paper summarizes existing research showing that tiny plastic particles called microplastics are now found throughout our water systems and food chain, including in seafood and drinking water that people consume.

Understanding microplastic pollution is important because it affects the safety of our food and water supply.
Microplastics and nanoplastics: Source, behavior, remediation, and multi-level environmental impact
This review summarizes existing research on where microplastics and nanoplastics come from, how they move through air, water, and soil, and their toxic effects on living organisms from marine life to humans. Once ingested, these particles accumulate in the body over time through a process called bioaccumulation and can become more concentrated as they move up the food chain. The authors highlight that effectively addressing plastic pollution will require combining cleanup technologies with strong regulatory policies.

The review highlights that as plastics age and break down, they become more toxic and more easily absorbed by living things.
