Microplastic ingestion and potential risk assessment on commercial and non-commercial marine fish in the Bay of Bengal

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in six coral reef fish species from Saint Martin's Island in the Bay of Bengal, finding 100% occurrence rates, with 4-10 microplastics per gastrointestinal tract dominated by polypropylene and polyethylene fibers, and polymer hazard index scores classifying all species in the high-risk 'Danger' category.
