Microplastics as Pollutants in the Marine Environment
Summary
Researchers reviewed the pathways and consequences of microplastic pollution in marine environments, focusing on how post-consumer plastic waste breaks down and accumulates across ocean ecosystems. The review underscores the widespread ecological risks posed by microplastics to marine life, with potential implications for human health through seafood consumption.
While plastics are a ubiquitous material in our life, their use also brings serious environmental concerns. This chapter focuses on impacts associated with post-consumer plastic waste, especially microplastics, that find their way into the ocean environment. It...
