Toxic Substances on Microplastics and Risk Assessment of Microplastics Pollution in the Mediterranean Sea
Summary
Researchers catalogued the toxic organic and inorganic substances that adsorb onto microplastics in the Mediterranean Sea, examining how these plastic-bound contaminants accumulate in the marine environment and pose chemical exposure risks to marine life and human consumers.
This chapter focused on the toxic substances, inorganics, and organics, that can be adsorbed by marine Mediterranean microplastics. The chemical nature of each substance and the possible consequences for humans. Due to their toxic nature, all the listed substances...
