Human ingestion of microplastics (MPs) is inevitable due to the ubiquity of MPs in various foods and drinking water. Whether the ingestion of MPs poses a substantial risk to human health is far from understood.

Microplastics as vectors of contaminants
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019Pollution by microplastics and antibiotics is an emerging environmental, human and animal health threat. In spite of several studies documenting the widespread occurrence of plastic debris in aquatic ecosystems, research focusing on occurrence and concentration of biological and chemical contaminants attached on microplastic surface as well as on ...

Microplastics on the Portuguese coast
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2018Marine anthropogenic litter was analysed in eleven beaches along the Portuguese coast, over a two-year period (2011-2013). Of all collected items, 99% were plastic and 68% were microplastics (MP; 1-5 mm in diameter). Higher MP concentrations were found in winter/autumn, near industrial areas and/or port facilities and in beaches exposed to dominant ...

Microplastic in Aquatic Ecosystems
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2016AbstractThe contamination of marine and freshwater ecosystems with plastic, and especially with microplastic (MP), is a global ecological problem of increasing scientific concern. This has stimulated a great deal of research on the occurrence of MP, interaction of MP with chemical pollutants, the uptake of MP by aquatic organisms, and the resulting ...

Microplastics are not microplastics are not microplastics
Microplastics are commonly defined as plastic particles of varying shapes less that 5 mm in diameter (NOAA, 2024a). Compared to macroplastics waste, which is relatively easy to visualise and trace back to its source, microplastic pollution is largely invisible, yet pervasive, and exerts its toxic effects in insidious ways.openaire +1 more source
