“…The Canadian government, for instance, has prohibited the use of MPs in cosmetic products since these pellets fall to the bottom of seas and rivers and collect there. 92 NGOs and research institutions are also conducting research and raising awareness on the issue of MPs to encourage individuals to change their behavior and reduce plastic waste. Financial strategies including penalties, taxes, fees, subsidies, deposit-refund programs, and incentives have also demonstrated their efficacy in encouraging the recycling of goods, which reduces the amount of waste that is dumped and the consequent build-up of MP pollutants in an aquatic environment.…”

Microplastic, which is of size less than 5 mm, is gaining a lot of attention as it has become a new arising contaminant because of its ecophysiology impact on the aquatic environment. These microplastics are found in freshwater or drinking water and are the major carriers of pollutants. Removal of this microplastic can be done through the primary treatment process, secondary treatment process, and tertiary treatment process. One approach for microplastic remediation is ultrafiltration technology, which involves passing water through a membrane with small pores to filter out the microplastics. However, the efficiency of this technology can be affected by the structure and type of microplastics present in the water. New strategies can be created to improve the technology and increase its efficacy in removing microplastics from water by knowing how various types and shapes of microplastics react during ultrafiltration. The filter-based technique, that is, ultrafiltration has achieved the best performance for the removal of microplastic. But with the ultrafiltration, too some microplastic that are of sizes less than of ultrafiltration membrane passes through the filter and enters the food chain. Accumulation of this microplastic on the membrane also leads to membrane fouling. Through this review article, we have assessed the impact of the structure, size, and type of MPs on ultrafiltration technology for microplastic remediation, with that how these factors affect the efficiency of the filtration process and challenges occur during filtration.

“…Industrial value-added measures economic progress, whereas CO2 measures environmental pollution. Kumar, Upadhyay, and Prajapati (2022) This report assessed carbon emission growth charges in 35 OECD economies from 1970 to 2019. It examined how democracy and trade liberalisation affect carbon emissions.…”

To explore the impact of industrial value added, Foreign direct investment, population growth and Trade openness on Environment in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bhutan is the aim of this study. This study used the data of Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bhutan from year 1990 to 2021 getting from World Development Indicators. Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag model was conducted for south Asian countries as a panel. We have found that industry value added and CO2 have a negative relation with each other in the empirical section. It is found that the positive correlation between Foreign direct investment and CO2 conclude that FDI is harmful for the environment, trade has negative correlation with the environment. The study found that the population growth has positive impact and renewable energy consumption has positive relation with CO2. This study suggests that trade liberalization measures have been pursued by promoting financial increase in south Asian countries but they have few potentially unfavorable environmental consequences. The findings are advised that the human behaviors could create consciousness in peoples to shield environment in south Asian regions.

“…Research has uncovered their presence in a variety of ecosystems, including oceans, rivers, lakes, soil, and even the atmosphere. This indicates that plastic pollution has escalated into a global issue with far‐reaching impacts (Kumar et al, 2022; Kumar, Mishra, et al, 2023; Kumar, Singh, et al, 2023; Pandey et al, 2023; Sacco et al, 2023). The widespread distribution of MNPs underscores the urgent need for comprehensive studies to understand their long‐term effects on both the environment and human health.…”

In recent decades, the ubiquity of micro and nanoplastics (MNPs) pollution has emerged as a global concern due to its potential risks to both ecological and human health. The detrimental effects of MNPs have resulted in significant changes in the physicochemical and biological properties of terrestrial soil and benthic sediment. These alterations have led to a disrupted nutrient cycle, potential future climate hazards, and further impacts on ecosystem services. This review aims to discuss the possible origins, composition, abundance, life cycle, and transport processes of MNPs in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. It seeks to understand the potential ecological and human health risks associated with MNPs pollution and explores their implications for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services. Moreover, this review highlights the advanced analytical techniques used to detect and quantify MNPs. It further suggests policy frameworks to combat this pollution in natural environments. The findings of this review are intended to assist environmentalists, microbiologists, hydrologists, and policymakers in identifying scientific gaps and pragmatic solutions to reduce MNPs pollution. Future research should investigate the intake mechanism and impact of MNPs on plants in different ecosystems, as well as their effects on food chains and human health. This will ensure that the ecological and human health risks associated with MNPs pollution can be timely mitigated.
