Summary

This commentary in PNAS frames microplastics as a complex environmental pollution puzzle, noting that while their presence in the ocean is well-documented, their long-term ecological effects are still poorly understood. It calls for more research to determine the true scale of risk that microplastics pose to marine ecosystems and human health.
