Microplastics in Freshwater Ecosystem: Implication for Tropic Transfer, Food Security and Human Health Risk
Summary
Researchers reviewed microplastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems, tracing sources from personal care products, synthetic textiles, and wastewater plants, and examining how particles smaller than 5 mm move through trophic levels with implications for food security and human health.
Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, are ubiquitous in freshwater ecosystems, emanating from sources such as personal care products, synthetic textiles, domestic items, fisheries, wastewater treatment facilities, and industrial...
