Research Progress on Current Status of Microplastics Pollution and Its Toxic Effects and Mechanisms

  • As a new type of environmental pollutant, microplastics have gradually attracted worldwide attention in recent years. In addition to its impact on the ecological environment, the toxic effects of microplastics on organisms and their potential health risks have increasingly become research hotspots in the environmental field. Based on the existing research, this article describes the current status of microplastics pollution, summarizes the biological toxicity effects and related mechanisms of microplastics, analyzes the factors affecting their toxic effects, and proposes the future research direction. Our review can provide scientific clues and references for further exploring the mechanisms of biological toxicity effects and health risk assessment of microplastics.

Research Progress on Current Status of Microplastics Pollution and Its Toxic Effects and Mechanisms

Fund Project:

Abstract: As a new type of environmental pollutant, microplastics have gradually attracted worldwide attention in recent years. In addition to its impact on the ecological environment, the toxic effects of microplastics on organisms and their potential health risks have increasingly become research hotspots in the environmental field. Based on the existing research, this article describes the current status of microplastics pollution, summarizes the biological toxicity effects and related mechanisms of microplastics, analyzes the factors affecting their toxic effects, and proposes the future research direction. Our review can provide scientific clues and references for further exploring the mechanisms of biological toxicity effects and health risk assessment of microplastics.
