Summary

Microplastic pollution in coastal areas is accelerating in parallel with global plastic production, with aquatic ecosystems projected to bear an increasing burden of contamination. The ubiquity of coastal microplastics poses direct risks to marine biodiversity and indirect risks to human health through seafood consumption.

Due to the increasing plastic production in the world, it is predicted that the amount of microplastic will increase in the future in all ecosystems in the world, especially in aquatic ecosystems. It is obvious that the negative effects of this pollution will...
