Summary

This review synthesizes research on the detection of microplastics in seafood, examining analytical methods and the prevalence of plastic contamination across commercially important marine species. Seafood is among the most direct dietary pathways for human microplastic ingestion, making reliable detection methods essential for quantifying health risks and informing food safety standards.

The study of microplastics and their impact on aquatic organisms is a rapidly growing field, as researchers work to understand the presence of these synthetic polymers in underwater habitats. Investigating microplastics in aquatic environments remains challenging due...
