From oceans to dinner plates: The impact of microplastics on human health

From oceans to dinner plates: The impact of microplastics on human health

Microplastics, measuring less than 5 mm in diameter, are now found in various environmental media, including soil, water, and air, and have infiltrated the food chain, ultimately becoming a part of the human diet. This study offers a comprehensive examination of the intricate nexus between microplas...
