[173] [182] [183] Plastic attracts seabirds and fish. When marine life consumes plastic allowing it to enter the food chain, this can lead to greater problems when species that have consumed plastic are then eaten by other predators. Multiple studies have found plastics and microplastics in the stomach contents of marine animals. [94] [184] [185]
Fish, bivalves, and other seafood are frequently contaminated with MNPs ingested through water and food, and humans consuming these animals are thus directly exposed to MPs embedded in tissue. The entire soft tissue of bivalves, for instance, is eaten by humans, which increases the direct transfer of MNPs.
Such sources of secondary microplastics include water and soda bottles, fishing nets, plastic bags, microwave containers, tea bags and tire wear. [ 9 ] [ 8 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] Both types are recognized to persist in the environment at high levels, particularly in aquatic and marine ecosystems , where they cause water pollution . [ 12 ]

Putting a non-microwave-safe material in a microwave oven can lead to chemicals leaching into your food (not good) or the melting of the container, which can lead to burns — or, at the very ...
Plastic pollution puts animals' lives in danger and is in constant fear of extinction. Marine wildlife such as seabirds, whales, fish and turtles mistake plastic waste for prey; most then die of starvation as their stomachs become filled with plastic. They also suffer from lacerations, infections, reduced ability to swim, and internal injuries ...
