This Turkish-language review examines the effects of microplastics on ecosystem health and biodiversity, summarizing how plastic particles disrupt ecological relationships across soil, freshwater, and marine environments and affect species at multiple trophic levels.
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.
Multiple Effects, Pathways, and Potential Health Risks from Environmental Microplastic Exposure
This review synthesizes nearly two decades of research on the multiple pathways through which environmental microplastics affect human and ecological health, including chemical toxicity, physical impacts, and potential roles as carriers of pathogens and contaminants.
Microplastics: A Looming Threat to Human Life and Ecosystem
This review described microplastics as a pervasive environmental and health threat, covering sources, exposure pathways—ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact—and potential biological effects. The authors summarized evidence of microplastic accumulation in human tissues and called for coordinated international action to reduce plastic production and environmental release.

Microplastics: Current Status in the Environment and Human Health Risks: A Comprehensive Review
This comprehensive review covers the sources, environmental distribution, food chain entry, and human health risks of microplastics, with particular attention to their role as vectors for chemical pollutants and pathogens. It highlights regulatory gaps and emerging mitigation approaches across terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric systems.
Impacts des nano- et micro-plastiques sur l'environnement et la santé
This French-language review summarizes the omnipresence of plastic pollution in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, covering sources, environmental fate, and human health consequences of micro- and nanoplastic exposure.
Microplastics as an emerging contaminant of concern to our environment: a brief overview of the sources and implications
This overview describes how microplastics have become a widespread environmental contaminant found in water, soil, air, and living organisms. Beyond being pollutants themselves, microplastics can carry other toxic substances and even antibiotic-resistant bacteria, amplifying their health risks. The authors emphasize that microplastic exposure through food, water, and air poses a significant and underappreciated threat to human health.
Microplastics-sources, spread and impact on the living world
This review examines microplastic sources, environmental spread, and biological impacts, covering particles ranging from 1 to 5000 µm in diameter derived from plastic degradation, industrial production, and everyday use of synthetic materials and cosmetics. The authors highlight microplastics' capacity to cross biological barriers, accumulate in tissues, and trigger inflammatory and immune responses in organisms throughout the food chain.
Microplastics in Environmental Setting: A Review on Sources, Exposure Routes and Potential Toxicities on Human Health
This review examines microplastics in environmental settings, synthesizing current knowledge on sources, distribution across terrestrial and aquatic compartments, fate processes, and ecological consequences. The authors identify priority research areas needed to address remaining uncertainties in microplastic risk assessment.
Microplastics in ecosystems and health
This review summarizes how microplastics originate from degrading macroplastics and intentionally manufactured products, describes their impacts on marine organisms and human health, and surveys emerging recycling technologies and regulatory responses. It provides a useful plain-language synthesis of why microplastics are a dual environmental-and-health problem, acting both as physical contaminants and as vectors for toxic chemicals.
Microplastics: Environmental Ubiquity, Biological Fate, and Human Health Implications
This review summarizes the current understanding of microplastics as a growing global contaminant affecting both ecosystems and human health.
