Summary

Researchers analyzed microplastic particles and bisphenol A (BPA) concentrations in sediments from four coastal lagoons in Veracruz, Mexico. The study found both contaminants present across all sites, raising concerns about combined plastic and endocrine-disrupting chemical pollution in these coastal ecosystems.
