TLDR
This study is the first to show 'natural' trophic transfer of microplastic, and its translocation to haemolymph and tissues of a crab, and has implications for the health of marine organisms, the wider food web and humans.About:

Microplastics: An Emerging Threat to the Aquatic Ecosystem
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have given an overview on different facets of microplastics that might help in the future research and proper management of micro-plastics, including types of micro plastic, major sources, and the way of transportation through which they are reaching into the aquatic ecosystem.

The abundance, characteristics and distribution of microplastics (MPs) in farmland soil-Based on research in China.
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper discussed the abundance, characteristics, distribution and influencing factors of microplastics in farmland soil, and concluded that the highest and lowest MPs abundance were in marginal tropical humid and plateau temperate semi-arid regions.

TL;DR: Model calculations and experimental observations consistently show that polyethylene accumulates more organic contaminants than other plastics such as polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride, and PCBs could transfer from contaminated plastics to streaked shearwater chicks.

TL;DR: The data indicate as plastic fragments into smaller particles, the potential for accumulation in the tissues of an organism increases and further work using a wider range of organisms, polymers, and periods of exposure will be required to establish the biological consequences of this debris.

Synthetic polymers in the marine environment: A rapidly increasing, long-term threat
TL;DR: Marine plastic debris is divided into two categories: macro, >5 mm and micro, <5 mm, which provide potential danger to marine ecosystems from the accumulation of plastic debris on the sea floor and the potential bioavailability of compounds added to plastics at the time of manufacture, as well as those adsorbed from the environment.

TL;DR: Field adsorption experiments using PP virgin pellets demonstrated significant and steady increase in PCBs and DDE concentrations throughout the six-day experiment, indicating that the source of PCBs, DDE, and nonylphenols is ambient seawater and that adsor adaptation to pellet surfaces is the mechanism of enrichment.
