Plastic Treatment and Microplastic Production, and Their Presence in Feed and Food
AI summary Read the abstract
This Spanish preprint discusses the presence of plastics and microplastics in food, examining how much we consume and how they reach the food supply. The authors also discuss plastic waste management in Europe and Spain and analytical methods for detecting microplastics in food.
This preprint is focused in the presence of plastics and microplastics in food. We will discuss how many we eat, and how they arrive to the food, and why. We will treat many other things, such as the waste treatment in Europe and in Spain, with updated data; how much plastic waste is generated; what are microplastics and how they are analyzed, I will tell about the experience we have at the University of Alicante (UA); how they can be removed and we will estimate how many we eat over the course of a year.

Plastics and microplastics in our food: how, how many and why
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines how plastics and microplastics enter the food supply, covering sources of contamination, the scale of dietary exposure, degradation products, and analytical capabilities for measuring food contamination. Researchers synthesize evidence on microplastic occurrence across diverse food categories and assess gaps in understanding long-term health risks. The paper provides a broad overview of food safety concerns associated with plastic contamination.
Implications of microplastic exposure on human health. Bibliographic review
AI summary Read the abstract
This Spanish-language review summarizes health implications of microplastic exposure, covering how microplastics enter the human body through food, water, and air, and what biological effects have been observed. The review notes that virtually all products in modern life contain some form of plastic.
Microplastics and Nanoplastics: Emerging Contaminants in Food
AI summary Read the abstract
This systematic review focuses on microplastics and nanoplastics as emerging contaminants in our food supply. These tiny particles enter food through packaging, processing, and environmental contamination. Current detection methods are still limited, making it difficult to fully measure how much plastic we are eating — highlighting the need for better testing to protect food safety.
Influence of Micro and Nanoplastics in Modern Food Chain: an Inevitable Intervention
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines the growing presence of microplastics and nanoplastics throughout the modern food chain, summarizing known entry points, concentrations in food commodities, and potential health consequences of regular human dietary exposure.
