Overview

Review highlights synergistic toxicity from microplastics and antimicrobials on aquatic and terrestrial animals, suggesting revised risk assessments.

Key Points

  • Co-exposure to microplastics and antimicrobials amplifies toxicity, leading to reproductive and developmental issues.
  • Studies report species-specific and synergistic toxicity in aquatic organisms and other animals from these pollutants.
  • Microplastic characteristics like size and aging affect the severity of combined toxicity with antimicrobial agents.
  • The findings suggest an urgent need for integrated regulatory strategies to address the combined ecological risks of these pollutants.
