Microplásticos en ecosistemas acuáticos: una revisión sobre su impacto y gestión

This literature review analyzes the ecological impact of microplastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems and available management strategies. Researchers found that microplastics affect aquatic organisms through ingestion and bioaccumulation, altering physiological functions and acting as vectors for toxic pollutants and pathogens. While filtration technologies, bioremediation, and regulatory measures have been developed, their effectiveness remains limited and a comprehensive approach combining prevention, mitigation, and stricter policies is needed.

A critical review on occurrence, distribution, environmental impacts and biodegradation of microplastics

This review provides a broad overview of microplastic pollution, covering where these particles come from, how they spread through terrestrial and aquatic environments, and their effects on ecosystems. Researchers found that microplastics are now present in virtually every environment studied worldwide, from deep oceans to mountain soils. The study highlights biodegradation by microorganisms as a promising but still underdeveloped approach for addressing microplastic contamination.
