Review of microplastic occurrence and toxicological effects in marine environment: Experimental evidence of inflammation
Abstract
Abstract Microplastics with a size lower than 5 mm are a ubiquitous plastic polymer present in almost all marine environments. Today, microplastic contamination of the marine environment has been an issue of increasing scientific concern. Due to their small size they can be easily misused by a wide range of marine biota and accumulated mainly in the gut. However, the exact consequences of microplastics exposure in the aquatic organisms are largely unknown. This paper summarizes the recent literature on the following objectives: (1) the properties, types and sources of microplastics; (2) the routes of microplastics entrance into the marine environment; (3) ingestion of microplastics by marine biota and the probable toxicological mechanisms; (4) gut microbiota alternation as an inflammation mediator in marine animal. This review focuses on experimental studies indicate histopathological evidences of size and shape dependent microplastics induced inflammation in fish.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
