“…Energy is essential for the growth of organisms, while ingestion of MPs/NPs may lead to digestive tract obstruction, reducing food intake and energy intake ( Zhang W. et al, 2020 ). Different types of MPs/NPs exposure have been reported to limit female reproductive capacity in a variety of species, which were attributed to the restrictions on energy consumption ( Au et al, 2015 ; Cole et al, 2015 ; Sussarellu et al, 2016 ; Cong et al, 2019 ; Kim et al, 2019 ; Mao et al, 2022 ). In the marine worm Arenicola marina , researchers have observed extended intestine residence time, inflammation, and depletion of energy reserves following the exposure to MPs, which may be related to reproductive issues ( Wright et al, 2013a ).…”

“…Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are prevalent organic contaminants in the environment, which are likely to interplay with MPs/NPs ( Liu et al, 2019a ; Coffin et al, 2019 ; Hu et al, 2020 ; He et al, 2021 ; Lu et al, 2021 ). The co-occurrence of MPs/NPs and several EDCs has been reported to exerted an additive or synergistic endocrine-disrupting toxicity in reproductivity, impairing the ovarian function and inhibiting the secretion of sex hormones ( He et al, 2021 ; Han et al, 2022 ; Mao et al, 2022 ; Lin et al, 2023a ; Lin et al, 2023b ). Furthermore, research indicated that PSMPs could enhance the desorption of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalic acid, thereby generating DNA oxidative damage, granulosa cell cycle arrest, and necroptosis in the ovary ( Coffin et al, 2019 ; Wu et al, 2023 ).…”

Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are emergent pollutants, which have sparked widespread concern. They can infiltrate the body via ingestion, inhalation, and cutaneous contact. As such, there is a general worry that MPs/NPs may have an impact on human health in addition to the environmental issues they engender. The threat of MPs/NPs to the liver, gastrointestinal system, and inflammatory levels have been thoroughly documented in the previous research. With the detection of MPs/NPs in fetal compartment and the prevalence of infertility, an increasing number of studies have put an emphasis on their reproductive toxicity in female. Moreover, MPs/NPs have the potential to interact with other contaminants, thus enhancing or diminishing the combined toxicity. This review summarizes the deleterious effects of MPs/NPs and co-exposure with other pollutants on female throughout the reproduction period of various species, spanning from reproductive failure to cross-generational developmental disorders in progenies. Although these impacts may not be directly extrapolated to humans, they do provide a framework for evaluating the potential mechanisms underlying the reproductive toxicity of MPs/NPs.

“…Jeong et al [ 53 ], for example, found increased uptake of MPs of smaller size (0.05 μm) as compared to micro–sized beads (6 μm), leading to oxidation stress due to lipid membranes’ deterioration. Mao et al [ 54 ] evaluated instead the individual effects and combined effects of microplastic on zooplankton. The results revealed that small–size MPs have harmful effects on the life period, hatching time of eggs, population growth and fertility as compared to large–size MPs.…”

Lakes are essentially interlinked to humans as they provide water for drinking, agriculture, industrial and domestic purposes. The upsurge of plastic usage, its persistence, and potential detrimental effects on organisms cause impacts on the trophic food web of freshwater ecosystems; this issue, however, still needs to be explored. Zooplankton worldwide is commonly studied as an indicator of environmental risk in aquatic ecosystems for several pollutants. The aim of the review is to link the existing knowledge of microplastic pollution in zooplankton to assess the potential risks linked to these organisms which are at the first level of the lacustrine trophic web. A database search was conducted through the main databases to gather the relevant literature over the course of time. The sensitivity of zooplankton organisms is evident from laboratory studies, whereas several knowledge gaps exist in the understanding of mechanisms causing toxicity. This review also highlights insufficient data on field studies hampering the understanding of the pollution extent in lakes, as well as unclear trends on ecosystem–level cascading effects of microplastics (MPs) and mechanisms of toxicity (especially in combination with other pollutants). Therefore, this review provides insight into understanding the overlooked issues of microplastic in lake ecosystems to gain an accurate ecological risk assessment.
