Microplastics: Origin, Environmental impact, Food and Beverage contamination and Management methods
Summary
This review covers the origins, environmental distribution, food and beverage contamination, and management options for microplastics. Researchers summarize evidence of microplastic contamination across nearly all environmental matrices and food types, and evaluate remediation and regulatory approaches. The paper serves as a broad introductory overview of the microplastic issue for non-specialist readers.
Since the production of in the early 1900s to present, there have been ongoing reports on the problems of plastic and microplastic waste contaminated in the environment. Moreover, within the last 10-15 years, the number of reports on microplastics contamination and impact on living organisms have increased in almost every country around the world. This article is a review, report and analysis of the literature on microplastics and with the objectives focusing on 1) Origins and routs of microplastics contamination 2) Potential impact of microplastics on organisms 3) Microplastics in organisms, foods and beverages 4) The situation of micro-plastics in Thailand 5) The process of dealing with microplastics in the environment Keywords: plastics, microplastics, microbead
