Sustainable Development

13.5K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Environmental Applications of Microorganisms

222
Microorganisms play a pivotal role in maintaining ecosystem balance by recycling essential elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, as well as supporting processes like bioremediation, wastewater treatment, and biofuel production.Microbes in Elemental CyclesIn the carbon cycle, microorganisms decompose organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide via aerobic respiration. This carbon dioxide is subsequently used by photosynthetic organisms to synthesize organic compounds, closing the...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Marine Biology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Marine ecosystems face increasing plastic microparticle contamination.
  • Seafood is a significant dietary source for many populations worldwide.
  • Understanding microplastic transfer to humans via seafood is crucial for public health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review scientific literature on marine animal contamination by plastic microparticles.
  • To identify health problems associated with human consumption of contaminated seafood.

Main Methods:

  • A theoretical-reflective study utilizing a narrative review approach.
  • Searched Health Sciences Descriptors for relevant publications (2017-2024).

Main Results:

  • Plastic microparticles are present in seafood, consumed raw or processed.
  • Human contamination via seafood consumption is a potential risk.
  • Detected microparticles can accumulate in the human body.

Conclusions:

  • Plastic particles in seafood pose potential health risks.
  • Strengthened public policies for water pollution prevention are recommended.
  • Educating health personnel on microplastic-related food issues is vital for Sustainable Development Goals.
