Abstract

Plastic use has increased considerably over the half past century from 1.8 million tons in 1950 into 465 million tons in 2018, which inevitable leads to more plastic waste. Two-thirds of all plastic waste is discarded in the environment and as a consequence, plastic finds its way into the oceans, rivers, soil and air. Here, plastics are degraded into micro
plastics (MPs)(conservation between worms and humans, the effect of MPs on reproduction and embryonic development is of great interest for human risk assessment of MPs, especially for early-life development.
