This Reprint compiles key research addressing the pervasive challenge of microplastic pollution. Moving beyond detection, the included studies critically examine toxicological effects and exposure pathways from a One Health perspective.
The synthesis reveals that microplastics act as carriers for co-pollutants like phthalates and pharmaceuticals, enhancing their bioavailability and toxicity in aquatic and mammalian models. Toxicological impact depends strongly on polymer type, with polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride eliciting distinct biological responses. Fieldwork from regions like the Yangtze River Estuary and Pakistan's freshwater ecosystems documents environmental distribution and confirms widespread wildlife ingestion. Innovative non-invasive methods, such as analyzing white stork pellets, are highlighted as effective biomonitoring tools. A key focus is human exposure, identifying the mechanical fragmentation of everyday plastics as a significant, overlooked pathway. Studies on wastewater treatment plants show that while microplastics are partially removed, persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals in effluent remain an ecological concern.
By integrating toxicology, environmental monitoring, and risk assessment, this Reprint serves as a comprehensive scientific resource. It provides an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, and students seeking an evidence-based understanding of microplastic impacts on ecosystem stability, animal health, and public health.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
