Molecular Pathways of Microplastics in the Marine Ecosystem
Summary
Researchers examined how microplastics move through marine ecosystems at the molecular level, tracing pathways from ocean water into marine organisms and food webs. Understanding these routes helps scientists predict how plastic pollution accumulates in sea life and potentially reaches humans through seafood.
Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous contaminants in the marine environment, posing a significant threat to marine organisms and ecosystems. This chapter delves into the molecular pathways underlying the fate and effects of MPs in the oceans, providing a comprehensive...
