Nature Communications, 2023 The microplastic body burden of marine animals is often assumed to reflect levels of environmental contamination, yet variations in feeding ecology and regional trait expression could also affect a species’ risk of contaminant uptake.

A Review of Human Exposure to Microplastics and Insights Into Microplastics as Obesogens [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 The ubiquitous exposure of humans to microplastics (MPs) through inhalation of particles in air and ingestion in dust, water, and diet is well established. Humans are estimated to ingest tens of thousands to millions of MP particles annually, or on the order of several milligrams daily.

Sampling methods of microplastics in freshwater and seawater envionment [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Microplastic had been contaminating freshwater ecosystem. But, our knowledge to identify kind of microplastics are still limited. Microplastic research methods in both water and sediment are generally divided into several stages: sampling, sample ...

Microplastic fiber diet—Fiber-supplemented pellets for small fish
MethodsX, 2021 Ingestion of microplastic particles and fibers is frequently reported for aquatic organisms collected in the field. At the same time, only few studies investigate potential effects of ingestion of microplastic fibers due to handling issues in the ...
