Insecticides, a subset of pesticides, play a crucial role in enhancing human well-being by combating vector-borne illnesses and safeguarding crops from harmful organisms. Among these, organophosphate insecticides are extensively utilized for agricultural, household, and industrial pest management. Despite their reduced environmental persistence, organophosphates can have adverse effects on non-target species.

Exploring the ecotoxicological impacts of microplastics on freshwater fish: A critical review.

J Contam Hydrol

February 2025

Ecotoxicology Research Laboratory, Department of Zoology, The University of Burdwan, Burdwan, West Bengal, India. Electronic address:

Microplastics (MPs) have become ubiquitous in the environment, prompting significant concern among ecotoxicologists due to their potential toxic effects. These particles originate from various sources, including the fragmentation of larger plastic debris (secondary microplastics) and consumer products such as liquid soaps, exfoliants, and cleaning agents. The widespread use of plastics, coupled with inadequate waste management, poses a growing threat to ecosystem health worldwide.
