Summary

Researchers found microplastics and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons — toxic compounds that plastics can carry — in the tissues of sole fish sampled from the Adriatic Sea. These findings raise concerns about human exposure to plastic-associated chemical pollutants through consumption of common seafood.

Study Type Environmental

In recent years, microplastics (MPs), normally defined as plastic particles with a diameter less than 5 mm, are emerging contaminants ubiquitously present in all the compartments of the aquatic ecosystem from surface water to benthic sediment, including aquatic...
