Microplastics in aquatic food chain : sources, measurement, occurrence and potential health risks

Year: 2013

Type: report

Abstract: Pollution of the environment with plastics is a growing problem, and is expected to persist for hundreds to thousands of years. As a result microplastics, plastic particles with size smaller than 5 mm, are ubiquitously present in the aquatic food chain. The present literature review shows that the information needed for such an evaluation is not available yet
