Microplastics, small plastic particles about 5 mm in size, are global pollutants, being present in the marine environment in general.

These tiny particles are ingested by various types of animals, causing various adverse effects on their health, such as neurotoxicity and reproductive toxicity. These and other effects pose a risk to environmental health and to people who consume marine food products.
