Overview

Assesses microplastics accumulation in fish organs, highlighting risks from specific shapes and sizes.

Key Points

  • Assess the levels of microplastics in riverine environments and their accumulation in fish organs.
  • Conducted an integrated assessment of microplastics in an urban river system.
  • Quantified microplastic concentrations in the water column and in six fish organs.
  • Characterized microplastics by size, shape, and concentration in different organs of the bleak fish.
  • High concentrations of microplastics were found in the liver and kidney of the fish.
  • Different microplastic shapes were noted in various organs, influencing their translocation pathways.
  • Smaller microplastics showed a greater ability to cross the brain barrier, indicating potential health risks.
