This review aims to summarise the literature of the last two years on the non-target effects of botanical and microbial bioinsecticides focussing on the evaluation of lethal and sublethal toxicity to predators and parasitoids. Essential oils show promising compatibility with parasitoids, but their effects on predators are variable. Among microbials, most of the experiments have been conducted with fungi followed by bacteria and viruses with different endpoints, resulting in a general compatibility with biocontrol agents but some results are controversial. Further laboratory studies should be carried out to improve bioinsecticide formulations. Extensive field studies are needed to assess more complex sublethal endpoints at the individual and community levels.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52296,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Science and Health","volume":"45 ","pages":"Article 100624"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144099791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Climate change accelerates microplastic distribution through mechanisms like altered ocean currents, rising temperatures, and extreme weather events, increasing microplastic concentrations in previously unaffected regions and the atmosphere. Warming contributes to microplastics released from melting glaciers into oceans and affects soil microplastic distribution under drought conditions. Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, further disperse microplastics, complicating their environmental impact. The contamination of food and water sources with microplastics during climate-driven events, such as flooding, raises serious concerns about water security and food safety. Additionally, interactions between microplastics and other emerging pollutants heighten environmental and health risks. This study highlights the urgent need for risk assessment frameworks that incorporate climate factors and for strategic management approaches to address the compounded impact of climate change and microplastic pollution. By recommending enhanced water treatment, soil management, systematic monitoring, and toxicological assessments, the research advocates for integrated global responses to mitigate these interconnected challenges for ecosystem and public health protection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52296,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Science and Health","volume":"45 ","pages":"Article 100608"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143619505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
