Microplastic pollution has emerged as a pressing environmental and public health issue, with widespread contamination observed in various ecosystems and food chains worldwide. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of microplastics in foods, addressing their sources, types, detection methods, ...

Feeding infants with formula requires heating water and bottles for sterilization and formula preparation. Plastic infant feeding bottles are commonly used, and now their potential to release microplastics has been explored at a global scale.
It was the first time to detect the microplastic in the thrombus although only one particle was identified as LDPE which is mainly used in agricultural films, medical devices, pharmaceuticals and food packaging materials and so on [22]. LDPE was also found in water and sediment of the area ...

By determining how many particles mollusks take in, they could begin to estimate how environmental microplastics might work their way into our food supply. Mollusk samples were first exposed to a microplastic-rich environment, then homogenized and filtered. This filter was then imaged with...

Contamination of ecosystems by microplastics (MPs) has been reported intensively worldwide in the recent decade. A trend of reports indicated their presence in the atmosphere; food items and soil ecosystems are rising continuously. Literature evidenced that MPs are abundant in seawater, beach sand, ...
