Microplastics (MPs) comprise tiny water-insoluble, solid plastic particles typically with a size ranging from 5 millimeters (mm) to 10 nanometers (nm), and are widely used in consumer products. Based on their chemical nature, MPs are classified into two major categories. Primary MPs are manufactured intentionally and mainly used in cosmetics and biomedical products etc. while secondary MPs refer to the type of MPs that are formed as a result of the breakdown of larger MPs through processes such as chemical weathering, mechanical breakdown, and digestive processes in animals.
