"A study led by Tel Aviv University has revealed alarming insights into how
microplastic particles are transformed within marine ecosystems, posing new
challenges to the health of the ocean’s food web.

The research highlights how filter-feeding marine organisms alter the behavior
and composition of microplastics, creating unforeseen risks for marine
environments."
