Summary

Researchers reviewed how micro- and nanoplastics contaminate marine-sourced foods including fish, shellfish, and seaweed, raising concerns about human dietary exposure. With billions of metric tons of plastic produced since 1950, ocean food sources represent a significant and growing pathway for plastic particles entering the human body.

Worldwide waste plastics are becoming a large problem. Much talk goes on about pathways of this kind wasted and its great environmental impact. During the period of 1950–2015, over 8.3 billion metric tons were produced, and nearly four-fifths of those plastics...
