DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.126084
Abstract: Microplastics have become predominant contaminants, attracting much political and scientific attention. Despite the massively-increasing research on microplastics effects on organisms, the debate of whether environmental concentrations pose hazard and risk continues. This study critically reviews… read more here.
