Abstract

Microplastics are one of the main pollutants of the environment. These can be transported between different aquatic environments and act as a capture of highly harmful and toxic Persistent Organic Pollutants. This article deals with the systematic review of the literature on microplastic flow modeling, and the interaction of organic chemical pollutants present in aquatic systems. Scientific productions were analyzed, mostly, within the period from 2012 to 2020. It was evidenced that many model approaches developed for other types of particles are also applicable to the flux of microplastics in the environment. However, the high persistence, low density, and extremely wide size diversity of the plastics mean that the behavior of the system shows a much wider variety. On the other hand, it is considered that the presence of microplastics may cleanse or contaminate a system or organism, depending on the concentration gradient between the microplastic and the matrix, whether it is tissue or an aqueous system. Simulation models have proved useful in mechanically analyzing these considerations. However, the information found on the validation of such models is limited, and additional experimental work is required to adequately emphasize the variables involved, considering the variety of organisms and chemicals that interact in the ecosystems involved.
