Summary
Researchers detected and quantified microplastics as small as 100 micrometers in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea and found evidence that different fish species in the area are ingesting them. This matters because fish that consume microplastics can pass plastic particles and associated chemical contaminants up the food chain, including to humans who eat seafood.
