Polystyrene microplastics: environmental presence, pathways, and biological impact
Summary
Researchers reviewed the environmental presence, transport pathways, and biological impacts of polystyrene microplastics, documenting how widespread food packaging use leads to pervasive contamination of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and raises concerns for organismal and human health.
The escalating accumulation of microplastics in the environment has emerged as a critical global issue, with significant implications for ecosystems and human health. Among the most prevalent and hazardous types are polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs), widely derived from food packaging,...
