Summary

Researchers reviewed the environmental impacts of microplastics and nanoplastics in aquatic ecosystems, documenting how their ubiquitous presence disrupts food webs, causes physical and chemical harm to aquatic organisms, and raises concerns about bioaccumulation up the food chain to humans.

Microplastics and nanoplastics have emerged as pressing environmental pollutants as a consequence of their ubiquitous presence and potential adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems. These small plastic particles present complex and multifaceted challenges to the health...
