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.

Human Consumption of Microplastics.
Environmental Science & Technology, 2019 Microplastics are ubiquitous across ecosystems, yet the exposure risk to humans is unresolved. Focusing on the American diet, we evaluated the number of microplastic particles in commonly consumed foods in relation to their recommended daily intake.

Fragmentation and depolymerization of microplastics in the earthworm gut: a potential for microplastic bioremediation? [PDF]
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2023 The accumulation of microplastics poses potential risks to soil health. Here, we did a preliminary exploration on the potential of Lumbricus terrestris (Oligochaeta) to reduce low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polylactic acid (PLA), and polybutylene ...

Microplastics in the Ocean [PDF]
Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2015 Since their ubiquity in the ocean and marine organisms was first revealed, global concern about microplastics has grown considerably. The North Pacific Ocean and the adjacent marginal seas have high levels of microplastic contamination compared with the global average.

Embedding citizens within airborne microplastic and microfibre research
Cambridge Prisms: Plastics, 2023 Microplastics are ubiquitous in our environment but their presence in air is less well understood. Homes are likely a key source of airborne microplastics and microfibres to the environment owing to the frequent use and storage of plastics and textiles ...
