Summary
This research investigated the bioaccumulation of microplastics across multiple trophic levels in a freshwater food web including algae, zooplankton, invertebrates, and fish, finding increasing particle concentrations at higher trophic levels. The biomagnification pattern observed suggests that apex predators in contaminated freshwater systems accumulate disproportionately high microplastic burdens through dietary exposure.
