Microplastics in Biota
Summary
Microplastics have been detected in biota across marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems, demonstrating their ability to enter food webs at multiple trophic levels. Their omnipresence in living organisms raises concerns about bioaccumulation of both the plastic particles and the chemical additives and adsorbed pollutants they carry.
Microplastics are omnipresent and pose a global threat to the environment due to their robustness, resilience, and enduring existence. Most of the microplastics research to date has focused on the marine ecosystem. Although freshwater and terrestrial ecosystem is...
