Microplastics are tiny plastic particles measuring less than 5 millimeters. Though microscopic in size, these pervasive pollutants have a massive impact on aquatic systems worldwide, with disastrous consequences for our environment, wildlife, and ultimately, human well-being. The study of MPs and their effects on aquatic ecology is of utmost importance in determining the far-reaching implications of these particles on the health of our planet and the safety of our food systems. By comprehending the ecological consequences, we can take informed actions to reduce plastic waste, improve waste management practices, and protect the health and integrity of our aquatic ecosystems for future generations.
Microplastics: Ecological and Food Security Implications not only articulates the extent of the problem, but also develops practicable harm mitigation strategies. Expert researchers discuss the disruptions MPs cause in the food web, altering predator-prey dynamics and even the composition of aquatic environments, as accumulation of MPs in sediments impacts nutrient cycling. When MPs find their way into our food systems, they can cause physical effects such as effects such as internal blockages, damage to the digestive system,
