This cover picture summary describes research showing that polystyrene foam food containers release microplastics during normal everyday use. The finding raises concern about a common and often overlooked source of microplastic ingestion by humans.
Polystyrene microplastics: environmental presence, pathways, and biological impact
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the environmental presence, transport pathways, and biological impacts of polystyrene microplastics, documenting how widespread food packaging use leads to pervasive contamination of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and raises concerns for organismal and human health.

AI summary Read the abstract
This journal cover image is associated with research revealing the transport, uptake, and damage mechanisms of polystyrene microplastics in biological systems. The study examined how polystyrene particles move through organisms and what cellular or tissue damage results from their accumulation.
The Risks of aged polystyrene microplastics cannot be ignored: release of large amounts of degradation products
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers used simulated digestion experiments to show that aged polystyrene microplastics release substantial degradation products into digestive fluids, causing a dual reduction in particle size and molecular weight that increases cellular uptake risk, while also altering digestive enzyme conformation — with longer aging producing greater and more hazardous chemical release.
