Quantification, identification, and chemical characterization of microplastics (MPs) in commercial fishes from the Palk Strait, Southeast India

Researchers examined microplastics in the tissues and guts of 75 commercially important fish from the Palk Strait in Southeast India, finding an average of 115 particles per individual. Fibers were the most common form at 51%, with polyethylene and polypropylene as the dominant polymers, and particle sizes ranged from 0.1 to 1.0 millimeters. The presence of microplastics in edible fish tissues suggests a potential route of human exposure through seafood consumption.
