ClearAddressing the current fettle of bioaccumulation of microplastics on the subsequent perspective of the aquatic ecosystem and health implications of commercial species: a review
This review examined the global evidence for microplastic bioaccumulation in aquatic animals and the downstream risks to ecosystem health and food security. The authors highlight how ingestion of plastic-contaminated prey transfers microplastics up the food chain.
Microplastics—A New Threat to Aquatic Food Safety?
This review article examines whether microplastics pose a new threat to the safety of aquatic food sources, noting that plastics have accumulated widely in marine environments and are ingested by organisms throughout the food chain. The authors assess potential risks from microplastic particles in seafood and the possibility of chemical contaminants being transferred from plastic to human consumers.
Microplastics Pollution: An Intending Threat for Aquatic Ecosystem Sustenance
This review summarizes sources, distribution, and ecological impacts of microplastics in aquatic environments, highlighting how ingestion by fish and shellfish and associated chemical toxicity pose growing threats to aquatic ecosystem health.
Microplastic (MP) Pollution in Aquatic Ecosystems and Environmental Impact on Aquatic Animals
This review summarizes the current state of microplastic pollution across freshwater and marine ecosystems worldwide. Researchers found that microplastics are now virtually everywhere in aquatic environments, entering food chains through ingestion by organisms ranging from tiny invertebrates to large fish. The study highlights that microplastics also act as carriers for toxic chemicals, compounding their potential harm to wildlife and, ultimately, to people who consume seafood.
Impacts of microplastic accumulation in aquatic environment: Physiological, eco-toxicological, immunological, and neurotoxic effects
This review summarizes how microplastics build up in fish and other aquatic life, causing damage to their immune systems, nervous systems, and overall health. When fish eat microplastics, the particles move up the food chain and can eventually reach humans through seafood consumption. The authors also discuss strategies for removing microplastics from water and reducing plastic pollution.
Micro Plastics in The Marine Environment: A Review of Their Effects on Marine Organisms and Ecosystems
This review examines the effects of microplastics on marine organisms and ecosystems, summarizing evidence for MP ingestion across trophic levels, physical and chemical harm to marine life, and the pathways through which marine MP pollution threatens biodiversity and fisheries.
Ecological impact of microplastic pollution on marine food webs
This review examines how microplastic pollution disrupts marine food webs, tracing the transfer of plastic particles and associated chemicals from plankton through fish to top predators and analyzing the ecological consequences for marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.
Threats of Microplastic Pollution on Fishes and its Implications on Human Health (Review Article)
This review summarizes research from 2010 to 2023 on microplastic contamination in fish and its potential implications for human health. Researchers found that microplastics are ingested by fish across diverse aquatic environments, with particles accumulating in the gastrointestinal tract and other tissues. The study highlights concerns that microplastic-contaminated seafood may represent a pathway for human exposure to both the plastic particles and associated chemical pollutants.
Assessing the Effects of Microplastics on Freshwater Fish
This review examines the growing body of research on how microplastics affect freshwater fish, documenting evidence of ingestion, tissue damage, immune system impairment, and gastrointestinal obstruction across multiple species. Researchers highlight that microplastics from personal care products and degraded plastic goods are accumulating in freshwater ecosystems at concerning rates. The study warns that combined with existing threats like overfishing and habitat loss, microplastic pollution could accelerate population declines in vulnerable fish species.
Environmental Impact of Microplastics in Aquatic Ecosystems: A Review of Current Research and Future Directions
This review examines microplastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems, covering chemical, biological, and ecological processes beyond simple physical contamination and identifying priority areas for future research directions.
A Comprehensive Review on Microplastic Pollution in Aquatic Ecosystems and Their Effects on Aquatic Biota
This comprehensive review examines microplastic pollution across freshwater and marine ecosystems and its effects on aquatic organisms. Researchers found that microplastics are abundant in both environments and that nearly all studies reviewed documented uptake by organisms along with alterations in biochemical parameters. The evidence indicates that microplastic contamination is becoming an increasingly serious environmental and health concern for aquatic life.
Effects of Microplastic Exposure on Different Speciesin Ecosystem
This review examines the ecotoxicological effects of microplastic exposure on organisms across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, covering bioaccumulation and trophic transfer in fish, mollusks, and other species. The authors emphasize that microplastics originating from industrial processes and plastic waste pose long-term ecosystem-wide threats.
Impact of Microplastics on AquaticOrganisms and Human Health: A Review
This review examines how microplastics from degraded plastic debris accumulate in aquatic environments, are ingested by organisms at all levels of the food chain, and may transfer to humans through seafood. The evidence warrants concern about microplastic contamination as an emerging public health issue.
Microplastic in the Aquatic Ecosystem and Human Health Implications
This review examines the sources, distribution, and pathways of microplastics in aquatic ecosystems, summarizing current evidence on how MPs enter the food chain, accumulate in aquatic fauna, and pose risks to both ecosystem health and human health through seafood consumption.
Micro(nano)plastics Prevalence, Food Web Interactions, and Toxicity Assessment in Aquatic Organisms: A Review
This review examines the prevalence of micro- and nanoplastics across aquatic environments and their documented toxic effects on organisms ranging from plankton to fish, including DNA damage, reproductive harm, and neurotoxicity. Researchers found clear evidence that these particles transfer through aquatic food webs and can ultimately reach humans through seafood consumption. The study calls for more research into how microplastics carrying multiple contaminants cause combined toxic effects in marine organisms.
Microplastics in Aquatic Ecosystems: A Review of Ecotoxicological Effects, Exposure Pathways and Trophic Transfer Risks
This review synthesises evidence on the ecotoxicological effects of microplastics in marine, freshwater, and estuarine environments, covering ingestion, bioaccumulation, trophic transfer, and physiological harms across aquatic fauna. It identifies chemical co-contamination and particle size as key modulators of toxicity.
Microplastics in Aquatic Ecosystems
This review covers microplastic contamination in aquatic environments, examining MP sources, distribution pathways, ecotoxicological effects on aquatic organisms, trophic transfer dynamics, and the potential implications for human health through seafood consumption.
Microplastics in Freshwater Systems: A Review on Its Accumulation and Effects on Fishes
This review covers the accumulation and effects of microplastics in freshwater fish, including how fish ingest them through feeding and the physical and chemical harm they can cause. Since many freshwater fish species are consumed by humans, the findings are relevant to food safety.
Microplastics and associated contaminants in the aquatic environment: A review on their ecotoxicological effects, trophic transfer, and potential impacts to human health
This review examines how microplastics and the chemical contaminants they carry move through aquatic food chains from small organisms up to larger predators. Researchers found that microplastics can transfer toxic additives and absorbed pollutants to organisms that ingest them, with potential implications for seafood safety and ultimately human health.
