Islam, Md Mazharul Rayhan, A B M Sadique Wang, Jun Shamim, Md Ali Hossain Ke, Hongwei Wang, Chunhui Zheng, Xuehong Chen, Ding Cai, Minggang Microplastics Animals Water Pollutants, Chemical Fishes Environmental Monitoring Bays India Humans Environmental Exposure This research on microplastics (MPs) in marine environments, particularly in Bay of Bengal fish, underscores the limited comprehension of their accumulation and potential health and environmental consequences. The study investigated the abundance of MPs in the organs of nine marine fish species from the north Bay of Bengal, assessing their polymeric risks and implications for human health. The average MPs ingested by each individual was 32.9 ± 3.0 items/ind.10 g predominantly fibers (93.1 %), followed by fragments (6.1 %), with black being the most common color (76.3 %). The primary polymers identified were polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) (19.4 %), polyether sulfone (PES) (10.7 %), polyamide PA (8.7 %), acrylic, and polyethylene (PE), in the 500-5000 (80 %) μm size range. A moderate negative correlation with strong statistical significance was found with girth sizes and MPs concentration of average (Pearson's r = -0.5728, p |
