Ranking of potential hazards from microplastics polymers in the marine environment
TLDR
In this article , a semi-quantitative risk assessment model has been developed in order to rank MP polymers of potential health concern emerging from marine exposure pathways, and a screening strategy was used to categorize three probability factors and two impact factors and calculate the final risk scores.About:
