I am looking for specific formulas or what kind of references or materials I require in order to evaluate the health risk of microplastics from fish intake per capita in my country if that is accessible. Thank you in advance.

Sample Collection and Analysis: Fish tissues are collected and analyzed for microplastic content using spectroscopy (e.g., FTIR, Raman) or microscopy techniques. Exposure Assessment: Quantifying the microplastic load in fish and estimating human dietary exposure based on seafood consumption rates. Toxicological Evaluation: Investigating the potential toxicity of ingested microplastics and their adsorbed contaminants through in vivo and in vitro studies. Risk Characterization: Comparing exposure levels with toxicity thresholds to evaluate potential health risks. Uncertainty Analysis: Identifying gaps and uncertainties in data related to microplastic toxicity, bioavailability, and cumulative effects.
Human health risk assessment of microplastics in seafood, particularly in fish, typically involves the following methods:
