  .
• Microplastics can negatively affect human health, yet their health implications remain largely uninvestigated
  4
  .
• Research on the abundance of microplastics and their effects on humans and the environment has increased exponentially in recent years
  5
  .
• The use of plastic material, widely present in microplastics, has been linked to various health problems such as reproductive and obesity, organ problems, and even developmental delays in children
