Summary

Researchers reviewed how plastics and microplastics have become pervasive global pollutants, accumulating in both ocean and land environments and moving up the food chain through bioaccumulation and trophic transfer. Their widespread presence raises serious concerns about potential risks to ecosystems and human health.

Study Type Environmental

Plastics and microplastics (MPs) are emerging pollutants which have become a global environmental issue. They are abundant in oceanic and terrestrial environments, undergoing bioaccumulation and trophic transfer and potentially harming the entirety of mankind....
