Microplastics in Fish: An Emerging Environmental Challenge
Summary
This review synthesized evidence on microplastic bioavailability and accumulation in fish species globally, examining ingestion routes, tissue distribution, and potential health effects on both fish and human consumers. As a major dietary protein source for billions of people, fish contaminated with microplastics represent a direct and quantifiable pathway for human exposure to plastic particles and their adsorbed chemical pollutants.
The widespread presence of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments has raised significant concerns about their bioavailability and potential risks to aquatic biota. Fish, a crucial source of animal protein for millions worldwide, are increasingly exposed to MPs,...
