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.

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 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.

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.
