Summary

This Spanish-language overview reviews microplastic pollution, noting that over 430 million tons of plastic are produced annually, and summarizes evidence that microplastics threaten ecosystems and human health through ingestion and accumulation across trophic levels.

Abstract. Plastic is one of the most important pollutants human produces. Degradation of plastic is giving rise to microplastics, waste that threatens several species, including ours. According to the United Nations (UN), more than 430 million tons of this material are generated every year. In addition to affecting the Earth's ecosystems, also has repercussions on human health. staining Key words: microplastics, nanoplastics, waste, ecosystem, extinction
