A Comprehensive Review of Microplastic Contamination in Sri Lanka: Sources, Sinks, and Pathways
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesized all available research on microplastic contamination in Sri Lanka since its first documented case in 2017, mapping sources, environmental sinks, and transport pathways across beaches, waterways, and marine systems. The study highlights how island nations with limited waste management infrastructure serve as both hotspots of microplastic generation and vulnerable endpoints of global ocean plastic transport.
Food Security Challenges and Microplastics: A Comprehensive Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined the intersection of food security and microplastic contamination, finding that microplastics threaten crop yields, soil health, and food chains in ways that could compound existing pressures from population growth and climate change.
Micro- and Nanoplastics Impact on Food Safety and Security
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examined how micro- and nanoplastics enter food systems in India—including packaging leaching, contaminated water, and seafood—and their implications for food safety and security at scale. With India generating millions of tons of plastic waste annually, the findings reveal a growing risk of direct dietary microplastic exposure for one of the world's most populous nations.
Microplastics in Foods: An Emerging Food Safety Threat
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examined microplastics as an emerging food safety threat, cataloging their presence across food categories including seafood, salt, bottled water, beer, and fresh produce, and reviewing ingestion risks for human consumers. With microplastics now detected in human blood, lungs, and tissues, understanding dietary exposure routes—particularly through processed and packaged foods—is increasingly urgent for public health risk characterization.
Microplastics: A Rising Global Concern Impacting Food Safety and Human Well-Being
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the distribution of microplastics and nanoplastics as emerging contaminants in marine and freshwater ecosystems, detailing how they bioaccumulate through trophic transfer and pose growing risks to food safety and human health via dietary exposure.
