Source Apportionment and Interaction Between Microplastics and Environmental Pollutants: A Review on Current Understanding and Prognosis
Summary
This review synthesizes current understanding of microplastic sources, their interactions with co-pollutants such as heavy metals and organic compounds, and the cumulative ecological risks these combinations create across diverse ecosystems. Microplastics act as vectors that concentrate and transport toxic chemicals, amplifying exposure risks for wildlife and humans who consume contaminated food and water.
Microplastics (MPs) are a group of pollutants made of a complex mix of chemicals and polymers found in a wide range of ecosystems. Heavy metals and organic pollutants have also been proven to affect the ecosystem in many ways. The cumulative impact of MPs and other...
