Microplastics enter the food chain through various pathways, including ingestion by marine organisms like plankton, filter feeders, and shellfish, which are then consumed by larger predators. Additionally, microplastics can adsorb toxic chemicals from the environment, which may bioaccumulate in the tissues of organisms as they move up the food chain, ultimately posing risks to human health through seafood consumption.
