“…Therefore, environmental pollution and habitat conditions already facilitate the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and increase the risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure. 324 Faced with the increasingly serious microplastic pollution problem, it is urgent to develop new methods to treat microplastic pollution. At present, the techniques used commonly for the separation of microplastics from environment mainly include visual inspection (manual sorting), density separation, screening, filtration and adsorption method, floatation method, and so forth.…”

The photochemical effects of plastics refer to a series of photochemical reactions of plastics under certain illumination conditions. In order to help researchers understand the research progress of photochemical effects of plastics, we will introduce photochemical effects of seven common plastics and discuss the influence of functional groups of polymers in plastics on the photochemical effects of plastics in this review. Based on this, we discuss the impact of photochemical effects on the properties of plastics and some factors affecting the surface photochemical effects of plastics. Last but not least, although in most cases the photochemical effects of plastics are extremely detrimental to the control of plastic pollution, some applications based on the photochemical effects of plastics will also be introduced in this review. It is believed that this review can provide some new ideas for the development of new and clean processes and some promising materials such as light‐responsive materials.

“…В связи с этим значительный интерес представляет работа E. Zhang и соавт. [85]. Авторы использовали молекулярно-динамическое моделирование для исследования молекулярных взаимодействий между 5 различными МП и фрагментами РНК SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 и вируса гепатита В (HBV -Hepatitis B virus) (Blubervirales: Hepadnaviridae, Orthohepadnavirus) в воздушной среде, вакууме и в водной фазе.…”

“…Повышение инфекционности псевдовируса SARS-CoV-2, адсорбированного на микропластике, сопровождалось увеличением экспрессии генов воспалительных маркеров: каспазы-3, IL-8 и TNFα [85]. Фрагмент РНК SARS-CoV-2, иммоби-лизованный на МП/НП, становится причиной продления присутствия вирусной РНК в окружающей среде.…”

The review presents recent materials about the growing influence of micro- and nanoplastics (MP/NP) on the spread of pathogenic viruses in humans and animals. The issue of the interaction of viruses with the plastisphere, the role of the virus envelope in the preservation of these microorganisms on microparticles in the composition of the biofilm has been elucidated. The issues of synergism of the pathogenetic action of MP/NP and viruses, studied on various models, are discussed. The article shows the negative effect of MP/NP on the permeability of the body's natural barriers, which can create favorable conditions for the penetration of viruses and the development of an infectious process. The authors draw attention to the need to expand interdisciplinary research in this area, given the fact that viruses residing on MP/NP can increase their infectivity and, possibly, form new genovariants.

“…For instance, Peijnenburgac et al found that microplastics interacted strong with the RNA fragment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. And electrostatic and hydrophobic processes were the major mechanisms for the interactions (Zhang et al 2022). Thus, using in vitro selection to screen out nucleic acid aptamers extends the application scope of traditional nucleic acids.…”

Microplastic pollution is a recently discovered threat to ecosystems requiring the development of new analytical methods. Here, we review classical and advanced methods for microplastic analysis. Methods include visual analysis, laser diffraction particle, dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, thermal analysis, mass spectrometry, aptamer and in vitro selection, and flow cytometry.
