AI summary Read the abstract
This retracted study investigated microplastic abundance in twenty fish and shellfish species from the Sundarbans mangrove estuary in Bangladesh. Researchers found microplastics in all samples, with bottom-feeding species showing the highest contamination levels, and estimated that the average person in Bangladesh may ingest over 85,000 microplastic particles per year through seafood consumption. The dominant polymer types identified were polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyamide.
