Microplastic particles (MPs) represent potential hazards for humans and wildlife, including as vectors chemical exposure (e.g. plastic additives pollutants sorbed from the surrounding environment).

The leaching of NMPs has been identified a pathway but risks to human health under environmentally relevant conditions remain unclear. Here, we describe modification ACC-HUMANSTEADY bioaccumulation model include dietary containing either accumulated environment or embedded additive (PACs). Chemical transfer wildlife is described using two-film resistance concepts assuming spheroidal cylindrical different sizes. relative contribution environmental media estimated daily intake in was assessed various scenarios, both range hypothetical with varying physicochemical properties four well-studied PACs [bisphenol-A; plasticizer Di(2-Ethylhexyl)Phthalate (DEHP); brominated flame retardant decabrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE-209); phenolic benzotriazole used UV-inhibitor plastic, 2-(2H-Benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-bis(2-methylbutan-2-yl)phenol (UV-328)]. Results imply that can act sources when ingestion rate 1 µm > 10 mg d− 1, concentration hydrophobic 5% wt wt− 1. made by decreased increasing particle size decreasing rates. Human specific are negligible < 100 µg Data uncertainties high regarding characterization quantification rates sizes polymer composition, well on presence NMPs.
