Impact of Microplastics:
For humans, fish is considered to be a promising source of protein. Thus, at the end of the food chain, people consumed a wide variety of fish and crustaceans and, at the same time, ingested microplastics (MPs) through this species. As a result, this type of consumption poses a potential threat to human health and has become an emerging concern in recent years. MPs are available in the organs (intestine, tissue) of various aquatic animals such as fish, crustaceans, and bivalves, Various factors, such as shape, color, size, and density, are responsible for this bioavailability of MPs to aquatic species. The study showed that MPs could be accumulated on the tissues of the mussels and the latex-based spheres observed on the gill’s surface in different portions of rainbow trout fish epidermal cell surface under the skin phagocytes. It is, therefore, clear that epithelial cells make a significant contribution to the adherence and pe*******on of plastic particles into the fish body. As a result, direct consumption of these gills and skin surfaces could be a possible way for MPs to be exposed to human food habits. Like seafood, MPs is also available in sea salt, and this presence has been confirmed by various research studies.

Microplastics can enter the human body through ingestion and inhalation where they may be taken up in various organs and might affect health, for example, by damaging cells or inducing inflammatory and immune reactions.

Microplastics, as the name implies, are tiny plastic particles. Officially, they are defined as plastics less than five millimeters (0.2 inches) in diameter—smaller in diameter than the standard pearl used in jewelry.
