TLDR
An estimation of the ecological risk from SAMPs indicated that a minor ecological consequence was present, necessitating further evaluation of SAMPs pollution, and preliminary evaluation indicated that textile clothes are likely major source of the airborne microplastics.About:

An ecological risk index for aquatic pollution control.a sedimentological approach
TL;DR: In this article, a sedimentological risk index for toxic substances in limnic systems should at least, account for the following four requirements: the following: the quality of the sediment, the water quality, the sediment quality, and the sediment diversity.

TL;DR: It is shown that microscopic plastic fragments and fibers are also widespread in the marine environment and may persist for centuries.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physical impacts of microplastics on marine organisms: a review.
TL;DR: This review focuses on marine invertebrates and their susceptibility to the physical impacts of microplastic uptake and an assessment of the relative susceptibility of different feeding guilds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of microplastics in the gastrointestinal tract of pelagic and demersal fish from the English Channel.
TL;DR: Microplastic ingestion appears to be common, in relatively small quantities, across a range of fish species irrespective of feeding habitat, and further work is needed to establish the potential consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics in bivalves cultured for human consumption.
TL;DR: The presence of marine microplastics in seafood could pose a threat to food safety, however, due to the complexity of estimating microplastic toxicity, estimations of the potential risks for human health posed by microplastically in food stuffs is not (yet) possible.
