Relationship between climate change and environmental microplastics: a one health vision for the platysphere health

This review examines the two-way relationship between climate change and microplastic pollution: plastic production generates greenhouse gases, while extreme weather events spread microplastics further into the environment. The study uses a One Health framework to argue that addressing microplastic pollution and climate change together is essential for protecting human, animal, and environmental health.

Allergy and immunotoxicology in preventive and clinical medicine from theory to practice: Environmental factors in bronchial asthma

This review applies an exposome framework to bronchial asthma, identifying living-environment pollutants including microplastics, air pollution, tobacco smoke, climate change, and dietary changes as contributors to asthma pathogenesis and exacerbation.

Cellular and molecular mechanisms of allergic asthma

Researchers reviewed the cellular and molecular mechanisms behind allergic asthma, finding that rising exposure to environmental pollutants — including microplastics — likely contributes to the disease's increasing prevalence, as pollutants disrupt airway barrier integrity and trigger immune responses that lead to chronic airway inflammation.

The One Health Concept: 10 Years Old and a Long Road Ahead

This paper reviews the progress and challenges of the One Health concept, which recognizes that human, animal, and environmental health are deeply interconnected. Researchers discuss how emerging infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and environmental pollution including chemical contaminants all require a cross-disciplinary approach. The study emphasizes that addressing modern health threats requires integrating ecological and environmental sciences alongside traditional medicine and veterinary practices.

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.

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.

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.

Environmental health: The most neglected part of one health

This commentary argues that environmental health — the health of ecosystems, water, air, and soil — is the most neglected component of the 'One Health' framework linking human, animal, and environmental health. Pollution, including from plastics and chemicals, degrades environmental health in ways that ultimately harm human and animal health. The author calls for greater integration of environmental health into global health policy.
