Physical Impacts of Microplastics on Marine Species
Summary
Researchers reviewed how microplastics physically harm marine organisms — from internal injuries caused by ingestion to reproductive and developmental effects — finding that even small plastic particles can cause significant damage to aquatic life, with implications for the broader food web.
While the physical impact of meso- and macrodebris on biota is broadly documented, microplastics (MPs) are also known to induce various detrimental effects on organisms but their physical impacts are still under debate. Scientific reports indicate that our knowledge...
