High bioavailability of microplastics (MPs) in the marine environment has raised serious concern during last few decades. Nevertheless, trophic transfer MPs within edible parts food webs remain unknown. In this study, bioaccumulation, biomagnification, and potential human intake muscles gills five popular commercial species (3 fish, 1 crab, prawn) from Persian Gulf were investigated. The surface structure characteristics material elemental composition signatures used to screen for likely...

This study assesses the occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in coastal and sea surface sediments, as well water samples, collected from region southern Caspian Sea, Mazandaran province, Iran. A total 32 sediment 10 samples were studied. The mean concentration MPs was 15 units kg−1 sediments 710 m−3 water. Fibers constituted by far dominant both media, accounting for 97% samples. mainly black color. size MP particles between 250 500 μm, while fraction >1000 μm dominated Polyethylene...
