Microplastic pollution has become an urgent global environmental issue. Russia’s Arctic, including the territory of Yakutia, is becoming increasingly subjected to microplastic pollution. This article reviews current scientific literature on the possible influence of microplastic contamination on people’ health in Yakutia. The major Siberian rivers, especially the Lena River, is believed to transport microplastics into the Arctic Ocean. Furthermore, this review article discusses the nature and the ways of particle accumulation in the Arctic ecosystems and food chains. Toxicological studies are reported to reveal microplastics induce oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular damage. In this regard personalized medicine can be helpful in assessing people’s exposure to microplastic contamination based on multiple factors (e.g., genetic, metabolic, and lifestyle). Interdisciplinary studies combining environmental monitoring and biomedical analysis are urgently needed in Yakutia to evaluate the real risks and develop prevention strategies.
