This book chapter reviews the ecotoxicity of micro- and nanoplastics to aquatic organisms, covering direct toxic effects, combined toxicity with associated chemical pollutants, and trophic transfer and biomagnification through food webs. The authors note that environmental realism remains a key challenge in extrapolating laboratory findings to real-world risk.
The following sections are included:\n\nIntroduction\n\nToxic Effects of MPs to Aquatic Organisms\n\nCombined Effects of MPs and Associated Chemicals on Aquatic Biota\n\nTrophic Transfer of Microplastics/Nanoplastics (Biomagnification)\n\nEnvironmental Realism and Complexity of the Issue\n\nConclusions\n\nReferences
