Overview

Comprehensive review reveals microplastics impact aquatic organisms and ecosystems, suggesting urgent interventions for biodiversity protection.

Key Points

  • This review aims to synthesize knowledge on microplastics' sources, pathways, and biological impacts in aquatic ecosystems.
  • Review of literature on microplastics in aquatic environments
  • Analysis of sources and transport pathways of microplastics
  • Assessment of biological impacts on various aquatic organisms
  • Discussion of mitigation strategies and technological challenges
  • Microplastics are prevalent in aquatic ecosystems, affecting biodiversity and water quality.
  • Aquatic organisms experience physiological and behavioral consequences from microplastic ingestion.
  • Microplastics bioaccumulate in food chains, posing risks to human consumers.
  • The review underscores the need for coordinated actions to mitigate microplastic pollution.
