The Ecotoxicological Effects of Microplastics on Trophic Levels of Aquatic Ecosystems

AI summary Read the abstract

Microplastics accumulate toxic pollutants on their surfaces and are ingested by organisms across aquatic trophic levels, from zooplankton to fish, enabling biomagnification of co-contaminants through food webs. This ecotoxicological chain means that human consumption of seafood carries compounded chemical exposure risks from microplastic-associated pollutants.

Micro- and Nanoplastics Impact on Food Sources of Marine Origin

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed how micro- and nanoplastics contaminate marine-sourced foods including fish, shellfish, and seaweed, raising concerns about human dietary exposure. With billions of metric tons of plastic produced since 1950, ocean food sources represent a significant and growing pathway for plastic particles entering the human body.
