DOI: 10.2478/aoas-2025-0028
Abstract: Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are pervasive pollutants impacting ecosystems worldwide, causing physical harm and behavioral changes in wildlife. MP toxicity mainly depends on size, porosity, weathering, and surrounding compounds. MPs disrupt feeding and metabolism, resulting in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2025.1620733
Abstract: Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles with a diameter of less than 5 millimeters, primarily originating from the degradation of plastic products (11). In recent years, increasing attention has also been given to the impact of… read more here.
