Evaluation of microplastic presence and risks in freshwater fish from Anzali International Wetland, Iran
AI summary Read the abstract
Scientists found tiny plastic particles (mostly blue plastic fibers) in the gills and guts of fish from an Iranian wetland, with bottom-feeding fish like tench carrying the most contamination. Since these fish are part of the food chain, and some are likely eaten by people, this suggests microplastics could be working their way up to our dinner plates, highlighting the need for better pollution controls and testing methods to understand the full health risks.
