The study highlights bioremediation strategies as promising approaches for cleaning up contaminated aquatic environments.
Water Quality and Fish Health: Interaction with Toxic Substances
This review examines how various toxic substances in water, including microplastics, affect fish health through physiological, behavioral, and biochemical pathways. Researchers summarized evidence that pollutants can accumulate in fish tissues and impair their immune systems, reproduction, and organ function. The study emphasizes that declining water quality from emerging contaminants poses growing risks to aquatic ecosystems and the species that depend on them.
Microplastic interactions with co-existing pollutants in water environments: Synergistic or antagonistic roles on their removal through current remediation technologies
This review examines how microplastics interact with other pollutants like heavy metals, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals in water, often making each contaminant harder to remove during treatment. The interactions between microplastics and co-existing pollutants can produce unpredictable combined toxic effects that are worse than either pollutant alone. Understanding these interactions is important because real-world water contamination involves mixtures, not single pollutants, and current treatment methods may not adequately address these combinations.
Impact of Pollution and Toxic Stress on Fish Health: Mechanisms, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies
