Particulate plastics as a vector for toxic trace-element uptake by aquatic and terrestrial organisms and human health risk
Particulate plastics in the terrestrial and aquatic environments are small plastic fragments or beads (i.e., 5 mm down to the nanometre range). They have been frequently referred to as ‘micro-plastics’ or ‘nano-plastics’. Research has identified particulate plastics as a vector for toxic trace eleme...
