本レビューは、プラスチックのライフサイクル全体にわたる温室効果ガス排出が気候変動と直接結びつくことを示す。また、マイクロ・ナノプラスチックが海洋生態系や炭素貯蔵能に影響を与え、気候フィードバック系の能動的要素として機能することを明らかにする。さらに、既存の対策は汚染物質と気候の相互作用を考慮しておらず、長期的な有効性が限られることを指摘する。
English
This review demonstrates that GHG emissions from plastic production and disposal link plastic pollution directly to climate change. Micro- and nanoplastics disrupt marine trophic structures and reduce ocean carbon storage, acting as active components of climate feedback systems. Current remediation strategies often ignore contaminant-plastic-climate interactions, limiting long-term effectiveness.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Greenhouse gas emissions associated with plastic production and disposal span the entire plastic life cycle, establishing a direct link between plastic pollution and climate change. This review demonstrates that micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) also function as active components of climate feedback systems by disrupting marine trophic structures, altering microbial assemblages, and diminishing the ocean’s capacity for carbon storage. Synthesized evidence further indicates that environmental degradation of polymers enhances surface reactivity, facilitating the sorption and transport of persistent contaminants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB). These interactions amplify combined risks to ecosystems and public health under climate change scenarios. This review also reveals that many existing remediation strategies prioritize waste reduction or physical removal while failing to account for contaminant–plastic–climate interactions, thereby limiting their long-term effectiveness. By integrating climate-related processes, polymer transformation, and contaminant dynamics, this review identifies critical knowledge gaps and underscores the need for mitigation strategies that jointly address plastic pollution, climate feedbacks, and emerging public health threats.
