Summary
Researchers found that relatively large microplastic particles can penetrate and accumulate in the body tissues of whales, dolphins, and seals, raising concerns about similar tissue-level accumulation pathways in humans who consume marine-origin food.
New research shows that relatively large microplastic particles can make their way into the body tissues of marine mammals.
