Microplastics are now widely distributed throughout the environment—in water, in the air, in the soil and even inside living organisms, including marine life. However, most studies to date have focused on adult fish, including those used for human consumption. The history of these microplastics, however, remained unknown. It was not clear exactly when this contamination begins throughout the life cycle.
