Pollutants Bioavailability and Toxicological Risk from Microplastics
Summary
Researchers reviewed how microplastics act as carriers for toxic chemicals, making them available to living organisms across all environments — from mountain peaks to ocean trenches. The combined chemical and physical burden microplastics place on organisms raises significant concerns for long-term human and ecological health.
Microplastics (MPs, <5 mm in size) are considered to be one of today’s major environmental problems. They are a ubiquitous persistent pollutant group that has reached into all parts of the environment – from the highest mountain tops to the lowest...
