Summary

This peer review provides a third evaluation of a revised literature review on harmful effects of microplastic pollution on animal health, assessing the final synthesis of evidence on how microplastics smaller than 5 mm impact animal health across diverse environmental contexts.

Background.The environmental pollution by microplastics is a global problem arising from the extensive production and use of plastics. Small particles of different plastics, measured less than 5 mm in diameter, are found in water, air, soil, and various living organisms around the globe. The humans constantly inhale and ingest these particles. The associated health risks raise major concerns and require dedicated evaluation.
