Micro and Nano Plastics in the Food Chain: Challenges, Risks, and Future Directions

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Gopinath Mummaleti and Fanbin Kong This review explores the pervasive presence of micro and nano plastics (MNPs) in the food chain, elucidating their diverse sources, distribution, and potential health impacts. MNPs, originating from macro plastic fragmentation, shedding of microfibers (MFs), and industrial activities, enter the food chain through soil and water contamination, affecting aquatic organisms and human health via food consumption.
