میکروپلاستیکها، بهعنوان یکی از آلایندههای نوظهور، نگرانیهای فزایندهای را در زمینه سلامت اکوسیستمها و انسان ایجاد کردهاند. این مطالعه با هدف بررسی منابع، پراکندگی، ویژگیها و مخاطرات زیستمحیطی و بهداشتی میکروپلاستیکها با تاکید بر ایران انجام شده است. پژوهش حاضر بهصورت مرور نظاممند و بر اساس دستورالعمل 2020PRISMA انجامگرفته است. جستجوی مقالات در پایگاههای PubMed، Scopus، Web of Science، ScienceDirect و Google Scholar برای بازه زمانی ۲۰۱۵ تا ۲۰۲۶ انجام گردید. پس از اعمال معیارهای ورود و خروج مقالات، مطالعات واجد شرایط وارد تحلیل نهایی شدند. دادهها (شامل: ویژگیهای مطالعات، محیطهای مورد بررسی، غلظت و ویژگیهای میکروپلاستیکها، روشهای نمونهبرداری) استخراج و مورد تحلیل قرار گرفت. نتایج نشان میدهد که میکروپلاستیکها در تمام محیطهای آبی، خاکی، هوایی و زیستی ایران به طور گسترده و غالبا بصورت الیاف و قطعات حضور دارند. غلظت میکروپلاستیکها در رسوبات خلیجفارس (تا ۱۳۴۶ /kgذره) و در هوای تهران (تا ۸۷۶ng/m³) از بالاترین مقادیر جهانی است. میکروپلاستیکها میتوانند از طریق ایجاد تنش اکسیداتیو، التهاب و اختلالات زیستی بر سلامت موجودات زنده و انسان اثر بگذارند. با توجه به وجود شکافهای پژوهشی در زمینه اثرات مزمن و استانداردسازی روشهای اندازه گیری میکروپلاستیکها، تدوین راهبردهای پایش یکپارچه، مدیریت پسماند و کاهش آلودگی میکروپلاستیکی در کشور بسیار ضروری می باشد.
