Can water mites’ parasitism influence the number of microplastics ingested by aquatic insects?
Applied Water ScienceMicroplastic pollution endangers both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Their spread across the food chain also endangers human health. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can be viewed as the final barrier between microplastics and the environment. In
