Summary

Microplastics are persistent, ubiquitous pollutants that resist decay and accumulate across environmental compartments—air, water, soil, and living organisms—making comprehensive risk assessment both urgent and methodologically complex. Their ability to carry and release toxic chemical additives amplifies health risks and complicates efforts to establish safe exposure thresholds for human populations.

Microplastics are stubborn pollutants that are growing in attention in the twenty-first century. These pollutants are ubiquitous in the entire environment. The endurance of microplastics poses it is greatly resilient to decay and enables it to reach into the natural...
