Surveillance of Seafood for Microplastics

AI summary Read the abstract

Microplastics are widely detected in seafood products, but inconsistent methodologies make it difficult to compare findings or establish reliable contamination baselines across species and regions. Developing standardized surveillance protocols for seafood is urgently needed to underpin food safety regulations and consumer health protections.
