Abstract

Plastics are widely distributed across organisms of various trophic levels and in terrestrial, freshwater, marine, and other environments. Recently, plastics have emerged as significant environmental pollutants, attracting public concern. This systematic literature review identifies sources of plastic waste, including food packaging, household hazardous waste, and wood waste, highlighting their detrimental impacts on water bodies, environmental health, and animal life. Analytical techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) are essential for detecting and quantifying plastic pollutants. Prevention strategies, including source reduction, public awareness campaigns, legislative measures, and the implementation of pollution control techniques, are crucial in mitigating plastic waste in water bodies. Future research should focus on developing innovative materials and sustainable alternatives to plastics, enhancing waste management infrastructure, and fostering global collaboration to address the plastic pollution crisis effectively.

Abstract

Aquaponics, a symbiotic integration of aquaculture and hydroponics, presents a promising approach to sustainable agriculture by maximizing resource utilization and minimizing environmental impact. This study explores recent innovations in aquaponics technology and the development of sustainable infrastructure to support its widespread adoption. A systematic literature review is conducted, showing the fundamentals of aquaponics and its key components such as fish tanks, grow beds, and biological filters. Innovations in technology are examined, including advanced monitoring and control systems, integration of renewable energy sources, automation, and novel growing techniques. Sustainable infrastructure for aquaponics is analyzed, focusing on water management strategies, energy efficiency measures, material selection, and integration with urban agriculture. Furthermore, the alignment of aquaponics technology and sustainable infrastructure development with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is studied, particularly in achieving goals related to zero hunger, clean water and sanitation, responsible consumption and production, and climate action.
