Plastics in the Food Chain: A Scoping Review of Their Environmental, Health, and Food Security Implications
Summary
Researchers conducted a scoping review of plastic contamination throughout the food chain, examining how over 400 million tons of annual plastic waste degrades into microplastics and nanoplastics that accumulate in food sources and pose intertwined threats to environmental health, food security, and human wellbeing.
Plastics, with their versatility, durability, and widespread use, have contributed to the generation of over 400 million tons of plastic waste annually, leading to environmental contamination. Plastics degrade into microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs), which...
