Abstract

As plastics become more ubiquitous, their impact on the environment and on human health cannot be overlooked. Once generated, micro- and nano-plastics end-up in the environment, causing widespread health and environmental risks. This is a significant environmental problem given the minuscule sizes of microplastics, and therefore warrants further investigation. This study presents a comprehensive review of the ecotoxicology of microplastics and methods for their degradation and decomposition besides discussing the fate and transport processes, recent progress, emerging strategies, challenges and potential future directions. The authors carefully evaluate the processes through which microplastics cause harm, from molecular interactions in species, to ecological impacts, and end with advances in microplastic biodegradation. Different kinds of microplastics found in the environment include polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, polyurethane, polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate. Analysis of microbial and enzymatic decomposition provides several swelling mitigation strategies designed to reduce environmental threats. In-depth investigations of microplastic ecotoxicity and biodegradation are being facilitated by interdisciplinary proposals in the areas of nanotechnology, new analytical methods, and synthetic biology. The extensive study helps understand microplastics comprehensively which in-turn ensures informed actions to mitigate the challenge of the environmental impact of microplastics for sustainable future.

系统评估微塑料和生态毒性的机理、发展、创新解决方案和未来展望--综述
随着塑料的日益普及,其对环境和人类健康的影响不容忽视。微塑料和纳米塑料一旦产生,就会最终进入环境,造成广泛的健康和环境风险。鉴于微塑料的微小尺寸,这是一个重大的环境问题,因此值得进一步研究。本研究全面回顾了微塑料的生态毒理学及其降解和分解方法,并讨论了其归宿和迁移过程、最新进展、新兴策略、挑战和潜在的未来方向。作者仔细评估了微塑料造成危害的过程,从物种中的分子相互作用到生态影响,最后介绍了微塑料生物降解方面的进展。环境中发现的各种微塑料包括聚乙烯、聚苯乙烯、聚丙烯、聚氯乙烯、聚碳酸酯、聚氨酯、聚丙烯和聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯。对微生物和酶分解的分析提供了几种旨在减少环境威胁的消肿策略。纳米技术、新分析方法和合成生物学等领域的跨学科建议促进了对微塑料生态毒性和生物降解的深入研究。广泛的研究有助于全面了解微塑料,进而确保采取明智的行动,减轻微塑料对环境的影响,实现可持续发展的未来。
