Moreover, a primary numerical evaluation of trophic-level transfer of these particles
found growing concentration in soils, earthworm casts, and chicken feces. The
translocation of particles generally occurs by means of the intestinal lymphatic
system, widely reported entrance for these particles into the animal body.
Transfer of ingested MF particles transversely trophic levels affects aquatic
species such as fish used as human food (Nelms et al. 2018). Accidental MF particle
ingestion might indeed be of concern to human health. However, the effects of
elevated levels of pollution in human tissues require further research. In general,
microfabric ingestion in place of feed will lead to gastrointestinal blockages. Chronic
exposure of humans to microfiber particles from textiles may result in a level of
bioaccumulation; as a result, these harmful toxic chemicals which are associated
