The uptake of microplastic particles and the transfer of potential harmful substances along
with microplastics has been studied in a variety of organisms, especially invertebrates …

Since only a few studies have investigated effects of microplastics (MPs) by routes other
than ingestion, this study was designed to analyze the accumulation patterns and transfer of …

In microplastics (MPs) research, there is an urgent need to critically reconsider
methodological approaches and results published, since public opinion and political …

The presence of microplastics in the environment and their potential effects on the health of
organisms are a subject of great concern. However, with further weathering through UV …

Organisms constantly ingest microplastics directly from the environment or indirectly via
trophic transfer due to the pervasiveness of microplastic pollution. However, most previous …

Predators ingest microplastics directly from the environment and indirectly via trophic
transfer, yet studies have not investigated the contribution of each pathway to microplastic …

The role of microplastic (MP) as a carrier of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to aquatic
organisms has been a topic of debate. However, the reverse POP transport can occur if …

The presence of microplastics in the aquatic ecosystem represents a major issue for the
environment and human health. The capacity of organic pollutants to adsorb onto …

It has been shown that ingestion of microplastics may increase bioaccumulation of organic
chemicals by aquatic organisms. This paper critically reviews the literature on the effects of …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) ingested by species at the base of food webs are potentially
biotransferred to higher trophic levels (and to other compartments in the oceans, eg nekton) …
