Environmental Pollution And Effect on Human Health And The Living of Creatures
Not relevant to microplastics — this is a general overview of air, water, and land pollution sources and their effects on human and animal health, without specific focus on microplastics.
The Impact of Plastic Waste on Ecosystems and Human Health and Strategies for Managing It for A Sustainable Environment
This review summarizes the broad impact of plastic waste on ecosystems and human health, covering how plastics break down into micro- and nanoplastics that contaminate soil, water, and air. The authors discuss health risks from plastic exposure including respiratory problems, liver damage, and hormonal disruption. The review calls for better waste management, recycling, and policies to reduce plastic pollution as a public health priority.
Homo sapiens, industrialisation and the environmental mismatch hypothesis
This paper argues that the rapid pace of industrialization has created an environmental mismatch between the conditions humans evolved for and modern environments, using evolutionary biology to frame how pollution, urbanization, and ecosystem degradation affect human health.
A review on effects of microplastics on animal, environment and human health considering One Health perspective
This review examines the effects of microplastics on animal, environmental, and human health from a One Health perspective, highlighting how microplastic contamination interconnects ecological, animal, and human health systems.
Linking coastal environmental and health observations for human wellbeing
This paper proposes a framework for linking coastal environmental monitoring data with human health observations to create integrated coastal health indicators, identifying locations where climate change and pollution may create hotspots of health concern. The approach aims to improve understanding of how coastal environmental quality affects human wellbeing.
Olumsuz Çevresel Faktörlerin Toplum Sağlığı Üzerine Etkileri (Hava-Su-Toprak Kirliliği)
This review examines how air, water, and soil pollution affect public health through a One Health framework, noting that environmental pollutants including microplastics and nanomaterials pose emerging risks. Researchers found that urbanization, industrialization, and climate change are intensifying environmental health threats, with vulnerable populations disproportionately affected. The study emphasizes the need for monitoring, early warning systems, and protective strategies to address deepening health inequalities.
Environmental pollution and One Health: An integrated threat to global health
This review examines environmental pollution through the One Health framework, which recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. Researchers found that pollutants including heavy metals, microplastics, and chemical contaminants circulate continuously between ecosystems, animals, and human populations, creating cascading health effects. The study calls for integrated, cross-disciplinary approaches to address pollution as a shared threat across all domains of health.
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.
A review of the effects of environmental hazards on humans, their remediation for sustainable development, and risk assessment
Researchers reviewed the chemical, biological, and physical agents driving environmental contamination — from heavy metals to microplastics to pathogens — and assessed the remediation strategies and risk assessment frameworks available for sustainable decontamination, advocating for site-specific, plant-based approaches combined with stronger policy support.
