CONSEQUENCES OF EXPOSURE TO PHTHALATES, MICRO PLASTICS AND NANO-PLASTICS ON THE ORGANISMS

Study of Microplastice, Polystyrene and phthalates (BPA, DBP, and DEHP) is as popular as scientists use them as a key point to reach up the new approaches. Toxicity of Phthalates and plastic components come through various sources that we are using in our daily life and it results in hazardous impacts on vertebrates and non-vertebrates organisms. Previous researches on the effect of these components have been done by using the model organisms. This review paper contains the information of past studies regarding toxicity of Microplastic and phthalates in vertebrates like mammals (human beings and whale), aquatic organisms, Zebra fish (Danio rerio) and invertebrates including D. melanogaster, D. pulex and D. magna. Ingestion of phthalates and plastic components in organisms takes place due to the contaminated water and food. Many research papers studies have explained that, those 44 organisms (weather aquatic or terrestrial) who consume plastic and phthalates through their contaminated food with different concentrations always suffer from some morphological, behavioral, biochemical and reproductive deformities. Ingestion of these components into the organisms contains a proper cycle of food web. Each and every organism hasa direct or indirect impact of Micro plastic and phthalates. Some scientists also explained that how a pregnant woman can be responsible for the disease in fetus and infants after consumption of these compounds. Male and female have different types of toxicity in their body functions including hormonal disturbance. So, plastic and phthalates have adverse consequences on aquatic life and human health
