Summary

Researchers reviewed how microplastics — tiny plastic particles under 5mm — harm aquatic ecosystems, documenting that fish, invertebrates, and other marine life can ingest them, leading to physical damage, toxic chemical exposure, and disruptions to feeding and reproduction.

Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, have emerged as a pervasive environmental contaminant in aquatic ecosystems. Their sources include primary MPs, manufactured at this size for commercial use, and secondary MPs, resulting from...
