ClearMicroplastics in aquatic food chain : sources, measurement, occurrence and potential health risks
This review examines the sources, measurement methods, occurrence, and potential health risks of microplastics throughout aquatic food chains, finding that while microplastics are ubiquitous in fish, shellfish, and other aquatic food sources, the data needed for a comprehensive human dietary exposure and risk assessment are not yet available. Researchers identify standardization of detection methods as a critical prerequisite for meaningful risk evaluation.

This review covers high-efficiency analytical methods for identifying and quantifying microplastics in aquaculture environments, addressing the growing concern that plastic products widely used in aquaculture operations are an underreported source of microplastic contamination.
Micro- and nano-plastic contamination in foods and potential risk to human health
This review summarizes the current state of knowledge about micro- and nanoplastic contamination in food, covering sources, occurrence, and analytical detection methods. Researchers found that while various foods, especially seafood, contain measurable levels of microplastics, the health risks to humans remain difficult to assess due to inconsistent research methods. The study calls for standardized approaches to better evaluate dietary exposure and potential health impacts.
A critical view on microplastic quantification in aquatic organisms
Researchers critically reviewed the methods used to quantify microplastics in aquatic organisms including zooplankton, bivalves, and fish.

This review provides a comprehensive summary of microplastic pollution across marine and freshwater environments, covering sources, detection methods, and biological impacts. Researchers found that microplastics are present in diverse forms including fragments, fibers, and foams, and are ingested by a wide range of aquatic species. The study highlights the need for improved detection techniques and more research on the effects of microplastic ingestion on both wildlife and humans.
Occurrence of nano/microplastics from wild and farmed edible species. Potential effects of exposure on human health
This review summarizes nano- and microplastic contamination across more than 60 edible aquatic species — including mussels, fish, crabs, and algae — and discusses the potential health risks to humans who consume these foods, calling for standardized detection methods.
Recent Study of Separation and Identification of Micro- and Nanoplastics for Aquatic Products
This review synthesizes recent findings on the occurrence, separation, and identification of micro- and nanoplastics in aquatic food products, covering their physical and chemical properties, carrier and chemical effects, seasonal and spatial variability, and analytical methods relevant to food safety assessment.
Occurrence and pathways of microplastics, quantification protocol and adverseeffects of microplastics towards freshwater and seawater biota
This review examines the occurrence, pathways, and adverse effects of microplastics on freshwater and marine organisms, highlighting how these particles can enter the food chain through seafood consumption. The study suggests that microplastic ingestion causes health hazards in aquatic animals and points to gaps in understanding how microplastics affect human health along the food supply chain.
Microplastics—A New Threat to Aquatic Food Safety?
This review article examines whether microplastics pose a new threat to the safety of aquatic food sources, noting that plastics have accumulated widely in marine environments and are ingested by organisms throughout the food chain. The authors assess potential risks from microplastic particles in seafood and the possibility of chemical contaminants being transferred from plastic to human consumers.
