Microplastic-sorbed chemicals: a threat from sand and surface water
Summary
This systematic review examines harmful chemicals that attach to microplastic particles found in beach sand and surface water. The findings are concerning for human health because microplastics can act as carriers for toxic substances like pesticides and heavy metals, potentially increasing our exposure to these pollutants through contaminated water and recreational beach use.
