Microplastic Contamination in Aquatic Organisms: An Ecotoxicological Perspective
Summary
"This ecotoxicological review examined how microplastics accumulate in aquatic organisms across multiple trophic levels, documenting impacts on physiology, reproduction, and behavior, as well as the transport of associated chemical contaminants through food webs. Because humans sit at the top of aquatic food chains, the bioaccumulation dynamics described here translate directly into dietary microplastic exposure, making ecotoxicological endpoints in fish and shellfish key indicators of human health risk."
Plastic is used in a variety of human endeavours such as automobiles, textile and clothing industries, packaging, cosmetic products, agriculture, and fisheries sectors. However, it has become a menace to our society due to its prolonged degradation in nature and...
