微塑料对环境和健康构成重大挑战，其根源是较大塑料的降解以及个人护理用品等产品中故意加入的微珠。这些直径小于 5 毫米的微小颗粒已经渗透到世界各地的生态系统中，从极地冰盖到最深的海沟，对海洋和陆地生物以及人类健康都构成了严重威胁。微塑料不仅会运输有害污染物，还会对野生动物造成直接的身体伤害，并与人类的慢性健康问题有关，包括炎症、氧化应激和癌症。本综述对微塑料进行了全面分析，详细介绍了它们的来源、分类和普遍存在，同时探讨了它们对各种生态系统的影响。它强调迫切需要采取一种多方面的方法，包括个人行动、社区倡议和技术进步。
Microplastics pose a significant environmental and health challenge, originating from the degradation of larger plastics and the intentional incorporation of microbeads in products such as personal care items. These minuscule particles, measuring less than 5 mm in diameter, have permeated ecosystems worldwide, from the polar ice caps to the deepest oceanic trenches, presenting serious risks to both marine and terrestrial organisms, as well as human health. Microplastics not only transport harmful pollutants but also inflict direct physical harm on wildlife and are associated with chronic health issues in humans, including inflammation, oxidative stress, and cancer. This review offers a comprehensive analysis of microplastics, detailing their sources, classifications, and pervasive presence, while exploring their impacts on various ecosystems. It emphasizes the urgent need for a multifaceted approach that encompasses individual actions, community initiatives, and technological advancements.
