Smaller fibrous microplastics exert stronger multi-level effects on the intertidal mud crab (Macrophthalmus japonicus)
AI summary Read the abstract
Tiny plastic fibers, smaller than a grain of rice, turned out to be more harmful to mud crabs than larger plastic fibers, causing more deaths, damage to their gills, and buildup in their bodies. Since these crabs are part of the food chain that ends up on our plates, this research suggests that smaller microplastic fibers in our oceans could pose a bigger risk to seafood safety than previously thought.
The Effects of Microplastic Pollution on Marine Organisms and its Impact on Human Health: A Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed how microplastics affect major marine taxa — from plankton to marine mammals — documenting impacts including reduced growth and reproduction, behavioral disruption, and inflammatory responses, while also assessing pathways through which MP-contaminated seafood and drinking water translate ocean pollution into risks for human health.
