MICRO 2018 Fate and Impact of Microplastics: Knowledge, Actions and Solutions.
This entry documents the proceedings of MICRO 2018, an international conference focused on the fate and impact of microplastics in the environment, covering current scientific knowledge, policy actions, and potential solutions. It serves as a reference collection for research presented at the conference.
What are the valuable lessons from global research on environmental literacy in the last two decades? A systematic literature review
This paper is not about microplastics; it is a systematic literature review of global research on environmental literacy in education over the past two decades, analyzing publication trends and teaching approaches.
Autumn 2024
This work appears to be a conference proceedings or journal issue compilation covering topics including seismic stratigraphy, with limited direct relevance to microplastic research; the abstract does not contain sufficient methodological or findings detail to characterise a specific study on plastic pollution.
Revitalizing Social Institutions For Peace, Justice And Environmental Protection, RSIPJEP-20222
This conference proceedings volume compiles research on revitalizing social institutions for peace, justice, and environmental protection. The environmental protection dimension includes discussions of pollution law and policy frameworks relevant to controlling plastic and microplastic contamination.
Microplastics and Nanoplastics in the Environment: Sources, Toxicity, and Ecological Implications
This review covered the sources, environmental fate, toxicological effects, and ecological risks of microplastics and nanoplastics across all environmental compartments. The authors emphasized the bioaccumulation potential, persistence, and toxic effects of MNPs and called for coordinated international efforts to address this global contamination challenge.
Review on invasion of microplastic in our ecosystem and implications
This review examines microplastic pollution across aquatic, terrestrial, airborne, and biological environments, concluding that microplastics travel across national boundaries and media, requiring global collective action beyond individual national waste reduction policies.
Microplastics and Nanoplastics in the Environment: Sources, Toxicity, and Ecological Implications
This review summarized the sources, environmental distribution, toxicological effects, and ecological impacts of microplastics and nanoplastics, drawing on two decades of research across marine, freshwater, soil, and atmospheric environments. The paper highlighted the global scale of MNP contamination and the urgent need for policy action to reduce plastic pollution.
The Second Session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to Develop an International Legally Binding Instrument on Plastic Pollution, Including the Marine Environment
Not relevant to microplastics — this brief legal commentary describes the second session of the UN Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee working toward a global plastics treaty, summarizing procedural developments and contentious issues without substantive microplastic science content.
Scientists Reviewed 7,000 Studies on Microplastics.
This review article summarizes a comprehensive evaluation of 7,000 studies on microplastics compiled 20 years after the term was coined in a landmark Science paper, synthesizing two decades of research on environmental accumulation of microplastic particles and fibres.
Ecotoxicological perspectives of microplastics
This review summarized the ecotoxicological effects of microplastics across aquatic and terrestrial organisms, covering the global scale of plastic production and the chronic harm MPs cause to ecosystems. The paper called for greater research standardization and policy intervention to address the escalating contamination.
Plastic waste: impact on the planet’s ecosystem
This review covers the trajectory of global plastic production from 1.5 million tonnes in 1950 to over 335 million tonnes in 2016 and examines the ecological consequences of plastic waste entering the environment. The paper highlights microplastics as an escalating threat to marine and terrestrial ecosystems, with toxicological effects documented across species.
Microplastics Pollution
This review addresses the exponential surge in global plastic production since the 1950s and the resulting widespread environmental contamination, projecting that annual production will reach record levels by 2050 without intervention. The authors assess the threats to ecosystems, wildlife, and human health and evaluate the urgency of transitioning away from current plastic production and waste management systems.
Environmental sustainability from the perspective of political economy
Not relevant to microplastics — this book chapter takes a political economy perspective on environmental sustainability, discussing climate change, biodiversity loss, and plastic pollution at a broad policy and philosophical level rather than conducting original microplastics research.
Microplastics in aquatic ecosystems: Detection, source tracing, and sustainable management strategies
This review paper summarizes what we know about microplastics in water environments, including how they spread, how to detect them, and how to manage the problem. It highlights that microplastics can carry toxic substances and calls for stronger global policies and new cleanup methods like biodegradation to protect ecosystems and human health.
Microplastics: Environmental Issues and Their Management
This review covers the environmental hazards of microplastics, their accumulation in soils, water bodies, and living organisms, and management strategies for reducing plastic waste. Global plastic production has grown from 2 million tons in 1950 to 380 million tons annually, with much ending up as persistent environmental pollution.
Bakelite to microplastics contamination: A comprehensive review on microplastics sources, distribution and their characteristic existence in environment
This comprehensive review traced the history of plastic pollution from Bakelite in the early 20th century to today's microplastic contamination crisis, examining how plastic production growth has driven accumulation across global environments. It synthesized evidence on sources, transport pathways, and ecological impacts.
Microplastic Pollution in the Environment
This review examines the ubiquitous presence of microplastics as emerging environmental pollutants across all major environmental compartments, synthesizing data on their sources, fates, and concentrations over time and space to characterize the scale of global contamination.
Meaning in Anthropocene Life
This is a conference proceedings summary featuring presentations on finding meaning in life during the Anthropocene, including perspectives from psychology, theology, and philosophy addressing climate change, environmental guilt, and existential responses to ecological crisis; it does not present original empirical research on microplastics.
Emerging microplastic contamination in ecosystem: An urge for environmental sustainability
This review summarized the sources, environmental distribution, and ecological effects of microplastics, emphasizing the exponential increase in plastic production and waste mismanagement driving MP accumulation across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The authors called for urgent policy measures to reduce single-use plastic production and improve waste infrastructure globally.
Microplastics in ecosystems: ecotoxicological threats and strategies for mitigation and governance
This review provides a broad assessment of microplastic pollution across ecosystems, covering sources, detection methods, ecological impacts, and cleanup strategies. The study highlights recent advances including AI-enhanced detection tools and microbe-based degradation approaches, and proposes a roadmap for working toward microplastic-free environments through coordinated scientific and policy action.
