Author Name : Arina M., Dr Sonali G. | For advertising opportunities, contact us on aditi@hidoc.co or varun@hidoc.co 0 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.
