Microplastics in Biota
Summary
Researchers summarized evidence that microplastics have infiltrated living organisms across marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems, posing a broad threat to biodiversity. Their persistence in biological tissues means they can accumulate up the food chain, ultimately reaching humans through diet.
Microplastics are omnipresent and pose a global threat to the environment due to their robustness, resilience, and enduring existence. Most of the microplastics research to date has focused on the marine ecosystem. Although freshwater and terrestrial ecosystem is...
