Microplastic Pollution and Contamination of Seafood (Including Fish, Sharks, Mussels, Oysters, Shrimps and Seaweeds): A Global Overview
AI summary Read the abstract
This global review compiled 15 years of research showing that microplastics contaminate a wide range of seafood, including fish, sharks, mussels, oysters, shrimp, and seaweed. Seafood is a key pathway through which humans are regularly exposed to microplastic particles.
Microplastics in the Marine Ecosystems: Identification and Impacts
AI summary Read the abstract
Tiny plastic particles called microplastics, broken-down bits of everyday plastic waste, are showing up along India's coastlines, and this review paper rounds up what scientists have found so far. While research on their health effects is still catching up, these particles are known to persist in the environment and can enter the food chain through seafood, raising concerns about long-term exposure for coastal communities. The authors point out that India still needs a lot more research to fully understand how serious this problem is and what it means for people's health.
Examining the Environmental Concerns Caused by the Microplastic Contamination in Marine Ecosystem
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines the environmental concerns posed by microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems, surveying sources, distribution patterns, biological impacts on marine organisms, and pathways of entry into food chains. As marine microplastics accumulate in fish, shellfish, and other seafood, they represent a direct and growing dietary exposure route for humans consuming ocean-derived food products.
