The pervasiveness of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems has become a significant environmental concern recent years. Because their slow rate disposal, MPs are ubiquitous the environment. As consequence indiscriminate use, landfill deposits, inadequate recycling methods, MP production accumulation expanding at an alarming rate, resulting range economic, social, repercussions. Aquatic organisms, including fish various crustaceans, consume MPs, which ultimately consumed by humans tertiary level food chain. Blocking digestive tracts, disrupting behavior, reducing reproductive growth entire living organisms all consequences this phenomenon. In order to assess potential impacts resources required for life plastic product, importance cycle assessment (LCA) circularity is underscored.
