Summary

Researchers reviewed how micro- and nanoplastics affect still-water ecosystems like lakes and ponds, where plastics can accumulate over time and disrupt aquatic organisms at the base of the food chain. These effects may ultimately impact water quality and the fish and wildlife that humans rely on.

Since their invention in the early 1900s, synthetic polymers have experienced significant growth due to their lightweight nature, affordability, resistance to corrosion, durability, and chemical stability against certain reactions (Sharma et al. 2017). As a result,...
