Summary

Researchers reviewed how marine microplastics enter aquatic food chains and accumulate in seafood, examining how their small size, diverse polymer composition, and ability to adsorb contaminants make them a growing threat to human nutritional security and global food safety.

Marine microplastics have become pervasive contaminants in oceans, sediments, and marine organisms due to the rapid growth of global plastic production and widespread mismanagement of plastic waste. Their small size, diverse polymer composition, and ability to adsorb...
