Environmental Risks and Hazards of Microplastics
Summary
Researchers reviewed how microplastics form from the breakdown of larger plastic products under sunlight and environmental exposure, and examined the environmental and health risks these particles pose as they accumulate across ecosystems and enter food and water supplies.
Microplastics are minute plastic particles that are generated during the manufacturing of commercial goods and the deterioration of large-sized plastic components. This degradation is the result of exposure of plastic materials to external components, like sunlight,...
