A sensitive biosensor based on carbon nanohorn/rhodamine B for toxicity detection of polystyrene microplastics and typical pollutants
TL;DR: In this paper , a sensitive electrochemical cell-based sensor based on a carbon nanohorn/rhodamine B modified electrode was proposed to detect the cytotoxicity of polystyrene microplastic (PS), bisphenol A (BPA), pentachlorophenol (PCP), and lead (Pb2+).

Microplastics in freshwaters and drinking water: Critical review and assessment of data quality.
TL;DR: More high quality data is needed on the occurrence of microplastics in drinking water, to better understand potential exposure and to inform human health risk assessments, and there is a significant need to improve quality assurance ofmicroplastic sampling and analysis in water samples.

Microplastics in bivalves cultured for human consumption.
TL;DR: The presence of marine microplastics in seafood could pose a threat to food safety, however, due to the complexity of estimating microplastic toxicity, estimations of the potential risks for human health posed by microplastically in food stuffs is not (yet) possible.
