Microplastics (MPs) represent a contemporary type of contamination that has permeated several environmental areas. MP pollution is already widespread in marine environments, leading to increased awareness over the past few decades. Multiple studies are being conducted to determine the source of MPs and their harmful impacts on marine life and, ultimately, human health. Thus, this paper rigorously analyzed the origin, accumulation, and detrimental impacts of MPs on the marine ecosystem. An increase in the death rate, a decrease in the rate of growth, and a reduction in the quantity of food ingested were the primary changes that occurred in marine organisms. The hydrophobic properties of MPs enable them to facilitate the formation of biofilms, which are referred to as the plastisphere. These biofilms have the capacity to transport chemicals that are frequently hazardous and may potentially infiltrate the food chain. The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly exacerbated the plastic and MP contamination in coastal and marine environments as a result of the improper management of personal protective equipment and explosive production. The most recent developments in environmental DNA (eDNA) are valuable tools for the detection and tracking of MP contamination in coastal and marine ecosystems. These technologies offer greater sensibility, efficacy, and involvement in the process. There are several measures and attempts that must be taken to address the MP pollution issues in the marine environment.

However, they are still widely found in freshwater systems due to their environmental persistence. Given that reservoirs are a vital source of drinking water for coastal city residents, this study collected water samples from 35 reservoirs in SZ City and its special cooperation zone to quantify 17 PFASs. Seasonal and spatial distributions of contaminant concentrations were analyzed and ecological risks were assessed. The results showed a widespread presence of PFASs in various reservoirs, although perfluoroalkane sulfonic acids (PFSAs) were infrequently detected. The concentration of ΣPFASs in the dry season (median: 20.5 ng/L) was significantly higher than that in the wet season (6.58 ng/L), likely attributable to a dilution effect after rainfall. Pentadecafluorooctanoic acid (median: 2.76 ng/L) and perfluoro-n-butanoic acid (3.90 ng/L) dominated in the wet and dry seasons, respectively. For spatial distribution, the ΣPFASs concentration in tributaries was markedly higher than that in reservoirs during the dry seasons (median: 58.1 ng/L vs. 20.5 ng/L), probably due to the diminished wet deposition of contaminants and the reduced mobility of tributary water flow. Furthermore, the concentration of short-chain PFASs was significantly greater than that of long-chain PFASs in the dry seasons (median: 16.0 ng/L vs. 3.10 ng/L), possibly related to the widespread application of short-chain compounds. Overall, the risk to the ecosystem and humans from PFASs in reservoirs is not significant. Future regulations on fluorochemical plants may be warranted to reduce the use and discharge of PFASs.
