ABSTRACT

Plastic pollution has permeated our environment, reaching even the most remote
corners. A novel consequence - "plasticrusts" - are emerging on intertidal
rocks, posing ecological and potentially human health risks. This mini-review
explores the occurrence, trends, and threats associated with plasticrusts. We
discuss the potential role of physicians in raising awareness and advocating for
solutions to this growing environmental problem.


INTRODUCTION

Plastic pollution has become a global crisis, impacting ecosystems from
mountaintops to the deepest trenches.  Beyond the well-known issue of large
plastic debris, a new threat is emerging - plasticrusts. These form when crushed
plastic fragments adhere to intertidal rocks, creating a persistent and
potentially harmful layer. This mini-review delves into the recent research on
plasticrusts, exploring their occurrence, current trends, potential threats, and
how physicians can contribute to solutions.


OCCURRENCE AND FORMATION

Plasticrusts are documented on rocky shorelines worldwide.  These form when
waves and weathering break down plastic debris into micro and nano-sized
particles.  The constant movement of water then deposits these fragments onto
intertidal rocks, where they become embedded in the surface crevices. Sunlight
and weathering further degrade the plastic, potentially releasing harmful
chemicals.


CURRENT TRENDS

Research suggests plasticrusts are a growing concern. Studies indicate a rise in
their prevalence and thickness, raising fears of widespread ecological damage.
Additionally, the potential for plastic breakdown products to enter the food
chain and bioaccumulate in marine organisms is a significant worry.


POTENTIAL THREATS

The ecological threats of plasticrusts are multifaceted:

 * Habitat Disruption: Plasticcrusts smother intertidal rock surfaces, impacting
   the delicate balance of these ecosystems. This disrupts the growth and
   survival of marine organisms that rely on these rocky habitats.

 * Microplastics and Chemical Leaching: Plastic breakdown products might release
   harmful chemicals into the water, impacting marine life and potentially
   contaminating the food chain.

 * Microplastic Ingestion: Marine animals can mistake microplastics for food,
   leading to gut blockages, reduced nutrition, and potential death.

The human health implications of plasticrusts are still under investigation.
However, the potential for microplastics and associated chemicals to enter the
seafood we consume warrants further study.


RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PHYSICIANS

Physicians play a crucial role in promoting public health and environmental
well-being. Here's how they can contribute to addressing the issue of
plasticrusts:

 * Raising Awareness: Physicians can educate their patients about plastic
   pollution and its consequences, including the emergence of plasticrusts.

 * Advocacy: Doctors can advocate for policies that promote responsible plastic
   use, waste reduction, and improved waste management practices.

 * Supporting Research: Physicians can encourage further research on the health
   implications of plasticrusts and microplastics.


CONCLUSION

Plasticrusts represent a novel and concerning trend within the broader plastic
pollution crisis.  Physicians have a unique opportunity to raise awareness and
advocate for solutions that protect both environmental and human health. By
working together, we can mitigate the damage of plasticrusts and ensure a
healthier future for our planet.
