Microplastics are a pollutant of environmental concern. Their presence in food destined for
human consumption and in air samples has been reported. Thus, microplastic exposure via …

The presence and effects of plastic debris is increasingly investigated. The majority of
studies focuses on microplastics (MPs), but few reports suggest that plastic fragments in the< …

The presence of microplastics within the gut of animals is well documented. Whether
microplastics bioaccumulate in organisms and biomagnify in food webs remains unclear …

Microplastics (MP) pollution has received increased attention over the last few years.
However, while the number of studies documentating the ingestion of microplastics by fish …

The present review covers developments in studies of nanomaterials (NMs) in the
environment since our much cited review in 2008. We discuss novel insights into fate and …

Microplastics are widespread contaminants leading to environmental exposure. While
studies on the prevalence in human tissues have multiplied, little is known about their …

Microplastics (MPs) with an average size of less than 5 mm, along with nanoplastics (NPs) of
an average size of fewer than 0.1 μm are the result of huge plastic waste fragmentation or …

High concentrations of plastic debris have been observed in the oceans. Much of the recent
concern has focused on microplastics in the marine environment. Recent studies of the size …

Marine mammals consume large quantities of microplastic particles, likely via trophic
transfer (ie, through prey who have consumed plastic) and direct consumption from …

Following a request from the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), the EFSA
Panel for Contaminants in the Food Chain was asked to deliver a statement on the presence …
