摘 要：Plastic waste discarded into aquatic environments gradually degrades into smaller fragments,known as microplastics(MPs),which range in size from 0.05 to 5 *** ubiquity of MPs poses a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems and,by extension,human health,as these particles are ingested by various marine organisms including zooplankton,crustaceans,and fish,eventually entering the human food *** contamination threatens the entire ecological balance,encompassing food safety and the health of aquatic ***,developing effective MP removal technologies has emerged as a critical area of ***,we summarize the mechanisms and recently reported strategies for removing MPs from aquatic *** combining physical and chemical pretreatments with microbial degradation have shown promise in decomposing *** such as bacteria,fungi,algae,and specific enzymes are being leveraged in MP remediation *** advancements have focused on innovative methods such as membrane bioreactors,synthetic biology,organosilane-based techniques,biofilm-mediated remediation,and nanomaterial-enabled strategies,with nano-enabled technologies demonstrating substantial potential to enhance MP removal *** review aims to stimulate further innovation in effective MP removal methods,promoting environmental and social well-being.
