Plastics can be hazardous, moreover, associated chemicals can be hazardous. Which is more significant in aquatic environments?
What are the most significant chemicals associated (adsorbed etc.) with aquatic plastics which are toxic to aquatic organisms?
Could you provide a list?
And which organisms are affected mostly?
NIH NLM's PubMed can be searched for publications of possible interest to you, e.g., "Interaction of Toxic Chemicals with Microplastics: A Criticsal Review" and "Microplastic in Marine Organism: Environmental and Toxicological Effects. Also, I sugggest also looking at the "Similar Articles" on the right side of each screen if you look at a PubMed citation.Further, you might want to do an online search for NLM's ToxTutor resource (search ToxTutor microplastics).and click on the "Learn more about microplastics" link.
