Abstract

Microplastics (MPs) and associated contaminants have become a major environmental concern. From available literature, their ubiquitous presence is now well established. However, the kind and level of toxicological impacts these MPs accomplish on various life forms are not well understood. Nevertheless, the environmental toxicity of MP is now being revealed gradually with supporting studies involving groups of lower organisms. Additionally, the presence of microplastics also disturbs the functions of ecosystem through affecting the vulnerable life forms, thus ecological manifestations of MPs also need to be analyzed. The present review encompasses an overview of toxicological effects mediated by various types of MPs present in the environment; it covers the types of toxicity they may cause and other effects on humans and other species. In this review, aquatic systems are used as primary models to describe various eco-toxicological effects of MPs. Various research gaps as well as methods to alleviate the level of MPs, and future strategies are also comprehensively highlighted in the review.

微塑料的生态和毒理学表现:现状、研究差距和可能的缓解措施。
微塑料及其相关污染物已成为一个主要的环境问题。从现有文献来看,它们无处不在的存在现在已经得到了证实。然而,这些MPs对各种生命形式的毒理学影响的种类和程度尚不清楚。尽管如此,MP的环境毒性现在正逐渐被揭示,涉及较低生物群体的支持研究。此外,微塑料的存在也通过影响脆弱的生命形式扰乱了生态系统的功能,因此MPs的生态表现也需要分析。目前的审查包括由环境中存在的各种类型的MPs介导的毒理学效应的概述;它涵盖了它们可能引起的毒性类型以及对人类和其他物种的其他影响。在这篇综述中,水生系统被用作描述MPs各种生态毒理学效应的主要模型。各种研究空白以及缓解MPs水平的方法,以及未来的策略也在审查中全面突出。
