They include many products with medical, healthcare or specific purposes for humans and/or animals, and exist ubiquitously in our daily lives. After their broad use and consumption, PPCPs are continuously released into earth's environment with pseudo persistent characteristics. More importantly, these pollutants may undergo transformation during environmental geochemistry processes, leading to the formation of transformation products (TPs) that may pose increased risks to human health and ecosystems. Particularly several TPs have been found to be higher concentrations and increased toxic effects as compared to the original PPCPs. Thus, in this critical review, we analyze the literatures on transformation mechanism of PPCPs during the environmental geochemistry processes, including hydrolysis, photochemical transformation, and biodegradation in water systems. The aquatic toxicity and health effects of PPCPs as well as their TPs are emphasized. Furthermore, the current challenges and recommendations for future research are also pointed out. This review will supply helpful information to better understand the behavior of PPCPs in environmental geochemistry processes from the viewpoint of mechanism, catalyzing a more comprehensive research on the risk assessment and management of PPCPs and their TPs in future.","PeriodicalId":21182,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of environmental contamination and toxicology","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136294457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After MNPs are released into the environment, they can interact with surrounding components and further be embedded within environmental substances, forming MNPs-carrier composites. Many studies have documented MNPs as individual particles. Yet, the specific impacts of environmental substances on the transport, fate, and eco-risks of MNPs-carrier composites have not been systematically analyzed. Here, we conducted a comprehensive review to illustrate the environmental carrier role for MNPs by different environmental substances and components, influencing their occurrence, transport route, transformation, and eco-effect, which calls for a reconsideration of the MNPs’ eco-/health-connectivity. Studies on MNPs’ environmental carrier in primary environmental domains reveal that in the atmosphere, MNPs-carrier composites are from nature-originated particulates followed by anthropogenic sources (e.g., traffic and industry exhausts); in the hydrosphere, various components (e.g., natural organic matter, extracellular polymeric substances, and proteins) can act as major carriers for MNPs; in the biosphere, microorganism and plant tissues can carry MNP-composites, which can be bioaccumulated and biomagnified through trophic transfer. Moreover, MNPs-carrier composites undergo distinct biogeochemical transformations in different environmental components, including aggregation, sedimentation, chemical transformation and dissolution, and the consequential biotransformation. Carriers’ impacts on MNPs’ environmental behavior manifested in changed bioavailability with widespread ecotoxicity via cellular uptake, oxidative stress and metal ions release, as well as in human health with adverse effects. Overall, this review can facilitate the understanding of MNPs-carrier composites’ origin, transformation, fate, and eco-/health risks in the environment, proposing future research needs.","PeriodicalId":21182,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of environmental contamination and toxicology","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135826557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have focused on the toxicological effects of MPs on single species or population scales from a narrow ecotoxicological perspective, while the systemic effects of MPs on the structure and function of global terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are still unknown. In this review, we describe the fate and trophic transfer of MPs in ecosystems, which determines the possible scenarios of their interaction with ecosystems, highlighting the alteration of ecosystem structure and function by MPs. The presence of MPs in ecosystems changes the physicochemical properties of the abiotic environment and the habitat of organisms; these particles then directly or indirectly interact with organisms, leading to toxicological and ecological effects. Importantly, MPs, as a new global pressure, likely affect essential biogeochemical processes such as carbon and nitrogen processes. In addition, MPs affect energy flow by interfering with processes such as energy fixation and transfer in primary producers, energy acquisition, consumption and distribution in consumers, and energy metabolism in decomposers. The effects of MPs on information exchange alter the growth, development, and reproduction of organisms, as well as intraspecific and interspecific relationships. At the same time, as vectors for other global pollutants and pathogens, MPs influence their global transport patterns and pose a significant ecological risk. Early understanding of the toxic costs of MPs from the perspective of ecosystem structure and function is essential to maintain the homeostasis and stability of global ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":21182,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of environmental contamination and toxicology","volume":"225 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135980305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
