ClearPlastic Not-So-Fantastic: A One Health Approach to a Growing Crisis
This One Health perspective reviews how microplastics affect environmental, animal, and human health, synthesizing evidence that these particles disrupt ecosystems and accumulate in tissues across species, underscoring the need for an integrated response.
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.

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.
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.
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
