Abstract

Plastic pollution is now recognised as a growing concern for both the environment and associated biota. Consequently, a plethora of scientific reports are being produced regarding the occurrence, distribution, and transfer pathways of litter particles. However, there are scientific gaps that need to be filled regarding micro- and nanoplastic impacts on marine and freshwater organisms. This Special Issue (SI) aimed to provide an update on plastic pollution and its consequences on aquatic ecosystems, with a particular focus on biological domains, by adopting a multidisciplinary perspective. Several research articles and reviews were collected, focusing on the origin, fate, and effects of plastics in marine and freshwater environments, along with their interactions with biotic components. We believe this SI will contribute to the development of new studies on plastic pollution and the elaboration of science-based policies at different levels of our modern society.

海洋和淡水生物群中的塑料污染

目前，塑料污染已成为环境和相关生物群日益关注的问题。因此，有关垃圾颗粒的出现、分布和转移途径的科学报告层出不穷。然而，在微塑料和纳米塑料对海洋和淡水生物的影响方面，还有一些科学空白需要填补。本特刊（SI）旨在通过采用多学科视角，提供有关塑料污染及其对水生生态系统影响的最新信息，尤其侧重于生物领域。我们收集了多篇研究文章和综述，重点关注塑料在海洋和淡水环境中的起源、归宿和影响，以及它们与生物成分的相互作用。我们相信，本 SI 将有助于对塑料污染开展新的研究，并在现代社会的不同层面制定以科学为基础的政策。
