Analysis of Nanoplastics and Microplastics in Food
Summary
The proliferation of plastic waste has created massive floating debris fields in the world's oceans, and analysis of food products reveals nanoplastics and microplastics are entering the human diet through contaminated seafood, salt, water, and packaging. The presence of these particles across the food supply means daily ingestion of microplastics is now a baseline condition for most of the global population.
The world’s ever increasing use of plastics has created large areas of floating plastic waste in the oceans—so-called plastic soup. This floating plastic debris
