Impact of Microplastics on the Physiology of Benthos

2024
Mubashar Hussain, Dominique Blache, Shane K. Maloney

Summary

Researchers reviewed how microplastic pollution harms bottom-dwelling aquatic organisms, summarizing evidence that benthic species face widespread physiological disruption from microplastic ingestion and accumulation, with broader implications for aquatic biodiversity.

Microplastic pollution presents a great menace to the biodiversity occupying aquatic ecosystems by accumulating in benthic environments and adversely affecting biocenoses globally. Microplastics are globally responsible for being a major source of plastics in...
