Abstract

Plastic debris and microplastics (MPs) evolve into an urgent problem for environmental contamination. Until now, many sources have been identified and nearly all the environmental compartments are subject to MP contamination. Plastic pollution has become of concern as potential threat to human health, too, as MPs were also in food and drinking water. Sources of MP ingestion by humans have already been discussed in several studies [1, 2, 3]. Moreover, recent studies [4, 5, 6], attracted the attention of researchers and the general public as they confirmed the presence of MPs in bottled drinking water.
