“…A number of studies have shown that common economic shellfish and fish in China have ingested microplastics by mistake [56,59]. Researchers also detected the presence of microplastic particles in shellfish and fish from offshore waters, estuaries, lakes, and rivers, confirming the severity of microplastic pollution in water bodies in China.…”

“…According to statistics, more than 220 aquatic animals and plants in nature could accidentally eat or capture microplastic particles. The species category involves all trophic levels of the aquatic ecosystem, including producers such as zooplankton and phytoplankton, as well as fish and turtles, whales, and other predators [56].…”

“…Experiments showed that 1.8-6.5 mg/L of 20 nm microplastic particles could inhibit the photosynthesis of Scenedesmus, and could be absorbed into the algal cells, resulting in oxidative pressure, causing mechanical breakage and the fragmentation of the cell wall, affecting the material exchange and genes of cell expression, and even causing algal death [57]. It is very easy for some aquatic organisms with low nutrient levels to indiscriminately ingest microplastics because they do not have the ability to identify substances; this can cause organ blockage or knotting [56], and inhibit or even destroy their life rhythms [58]. For example, after eating microplastics by mistake, a large flea produces an ecological protein corona, which leads to the disturbance of the intestinal digestive system of the flea [58].…”

Microplastics have been widely detected in the natural water environment, which brings inevitable risks to the water ecosystem and human health. However, the understanding of the potential impact of microplastics on aquatic animals, plants, and human health is still limited, and technical methods to control microplastic pollution in natural water are still rare. Hence, this paper summarizes the progress of research on microplastic pollution in water systems in terms of microplastic source, attributes, distribution characteristics, environmental effects, and prevention and control methods according to the relevant research reports on water microplastic pollution. It also expounds the basic ways for the prevention, control, and treatment of water microplastics, and looks forward to the research direction of water microplastic pollution in the future. The results show that the abundance of fresh water microplastics in China is higher than that in other regions, but the pollution level of marine microplastics is at the middle level. Compared with other countries, the pollution degree of microplastics in aquatic organisms in China is at the middle and lower level, but the spatial heterogeneity is more obvious. Through hydraulic control and the substitution of degradable plastic products, water microplastic pollution can be greatly reduced. This paper can provide a reference basis for the formulation of microplastic pollution prevention and control in China.

“…Up to now, polystyrene (PS) ha sbeen chosen as a proxy for MNPs due to the fact that it is one of the most largely used non-biodegradable plastics worldwide and, unlike other polymers, it shows a greater stability in sea water suspension with low styrene release [17]. Several studies have been conducted to evaluate the lethal and sublethal effects of PS MNPs on aquatic biota, reporting fertility, growth, and reproduction abnormalities [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28], as well as metabolism disorders, oxidative stress, and immune and nervous system dysfunction [13,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. Consequently, one of the main challenges today is to understand the mechanism of the toxicity of MNPs correlated to the lethal/sublethal effects studied so far.…”

In recent years, micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) have represented an emerging threat for the aquatic environment due to their persistence and widespread distribution. Indeed, their small size and increased surface area lead to a high biological reactivity, which can be crucial for the health status of biota. To date, several studies have investigated lethal and sublethal endpoints of MNPs, while one of the main challenges is to understand their mechanisms of toxicity in a comprehensive manner. With this aim, the field of aquatic ecotoxicology can now benefit from the -omics approaches. This review focuses on the recent advances related to the use of transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics to deeply investigate the molecular and biochemical responses of aquatic organisms, both fishes and aquatic invertebrates, to pristine polystyrene (PS) MNPs. The literature reviewed revealed that transcriptomics and metabolomics are the most frequently used -omic approaches. Overall, the studies taken into consideration shed light on the events triggered by PS MNPs at molecular and cellular levels, identifying as mechanisms of toxicity the pathways involved in oxidative stress, energy metabolism, immune response, and the nervous system. Future studies should therefore focus on the use and integration of multi-omics approaches for a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms involved in MNPs toxicity.
