ClearWhy Environmental Pollution Remains Unresolved Despite Efforts to Mitigate It?
This review examines why environmental pollution persists despite mitigation efforts, identifying industrialization, technological cost barriers, weak regulatory enforcement, regulatory capture by industrial lobbies, and insufficient public awareness as the primary systemic reasons that pollution control remains ineffective, particularly in developing nations.
Microplastics, Contaminants, and Waste Hotspots: Divergences and Faults in Prioritizing Control Efforts
Using Brazil as a case study, this paper classified hotspots and priorities for reducing plastic emissions and mismanaged waste, arguing that microplastics' classification as emerging contaminants requires clearer information tools to guide government intervention and pollution control efforts.
Time to strengthen the governance of new contaminants in the environment
Researchers argue that despite existing laws, hundreds of emerging environmental contaminants — including microplastics — remain unregulated, posing serious risks to ecosystems and human health. They propose a global roadmap combining proactive chemical identification, risk assessment, and international collaboration to close the governance gaps before harms become irreversible.
Solutions to Plastic Pollution: A Conceptual Framework to Tackle a Wicked Problem
This review proposed a conceptual framework for organizing the diverse technological, governance, and societal solutions to global plastic pollution, mapping the value-laden issues that drive different actors' preferences for particular approaches.
