The freshwater ecosystems` pollution due to plastic has been a subject of intensive studies which has resulted in many global concerns. The following study is a thorough macro-micro plastic toxicity analysis which is contained within these vital habitats. Macro plastics which can be seen and microplastics with dimensions often expressed in micrometers are of different kinds and simultaneously create multiple problems for aquatic eco systems. This evaluation merges publications from peer-reviewed journals, original data from the laboratory, and materials from fieldwork to describe the complex effects on a larger and smaller scale. Abandoned plastic bottles, PVC from pipes, meshes from fishing nets all gouge the dwelling place of aquatic organisms and ruin the natural environment. Large plastic wastes break into microplastics, other plastic particles seep into water bodies as microscopic particles, hence the effect of these small particles become ubiquitous chemical stressors.This work blends the complex links between macro and microplastics and freshwater systems that affect the physiology, behavior, and reproductive success of aquatic species. Furthermore, this study explores the possibility of plastics-borne toxinstransmission throughout the food web and associated potential threats to human health. Furthermore, the analysis assesses the suitability of the existing mitigation mechanisms and provide suggestions for problem solving the micro-macro plastic toxicity continuum. With increasing concern about how plastic pollution is addressed, recognizing the full environmental implications of freshwater ecosystems is critical. It provides useful information to guide policy decisions, conservation programs and future grounds for further research aimed at maintaining the aquatic environments health and stability.Keywords: Plastic Toxicity, Macro-Micro, Ecosystem, Materials, Health, Food
