Gundogdu et al. [14] | 2020 | 0.673 | Q4 | Documenting the presence of MP in fish, especially edible fish in the Aegean, Marmara and Eastern Mediterranean Seas. | N=243. Raman μ-analysis. Pearson correlation analysis. | Approximately 39.2% of fish in the north-eastern Mediterranean, 40.5% in the Sea of Marmara and 61.6% in the Aegean Sea had MP. | The entry of plastics into the food chain means that they can become more concentrated at higher trophic levels and therefore for humans. |
Digka et al. [15] | 2018 | 5.553 | Q1 | To assess the ingestion of MP in four highly commercial marine species from the Ionian Sea. | FT-IR | MP was found in 37 mussels, 17 sardines, 8 sea bream and 8 red mullets. The fragments were larger. | Filter feeding and pelagic species are more prone to MP contamination. |
Kılıç et al. [16] | 2022 | 5.553 | Q1 | To test the existence in the MP present in the GIT and gills of fish from Iskenderun Bay and Samandağ. | N=153.FT-IR | MP abundance in the GIT was higher than in gills. A negative correlation was observed between body weight and gill MP abundance. | The abundance of MP in the gills depends mainly on the MP contamination in the surrounding environment. |
Ferrante et al. [17] | 2022 | 6.498 | Q1 | To quantify the presence of MP in various edible seafood products from the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. | Estimated Dose in Humans (EDI) | MP has been found in all samples of all species studied. | Quantification and characterisation in the muscle tissue of marine organisms reflects the presence of MP in the aquatic environment. |
Savoca et al. [18] | 2019 | 4.86 | Q1 | Add new data on the occurrence and diffusion of MP in marine waters and commercial teleosts in the Tyrrhenian Sea. | Ramany FT-IR spectroscopies | 39 specimens of Pagellus spp. were examined, analyses revealed that there were stomach remains in 4 specimens. (9,1%). | MP in the Mediterranean Sea and in marine biota underlined. |
Chenet et al. [19] | 2021 | 8.071 | Q1 | To assess the presence of plastics in the GIT content of Atlantic horse mackerel and their adverse health effects. | N=92 | MP was found in 90.6% of all specimens. Almost all plastic products have been found to leach disruptive chemicals. | The southern central Mediterranean region is heavily affected by the presence of anthropogenic waste. |
Barboza et al. [20] | 2020 | 7.963 | Q1 | To investigate the presence of MP in commercially important fish in the North-East Atlantic Ocean and to estimate human exposure to MP through fish consumption. | N= 150 FTIR and ATR-FTIR. | MP was found in 49 % of the fish examined. The estimated human intake of MP through consumption ranged from 518 MP items/year/capita (Brazil) to 3078 MP items/year/capita (Portugal). | The presence of MP in edible fish tissues, highlights the need for further assessment of contamination of human food. Exposure is higher in countries where fish consumption is high. |
Gündogdu et al. [21] | 2022 | 11.176 | Q1 | Review the different sources of MP, their characterisation, as well as new estimation methods. | Review | Mussels may be an important route of human exposure to MP. MP concentrations are highest in the TGI of small fish. | Environmental contamination and the resulting contamination of seafood with MP pose a potential threat to consumers. |
Santonicola et al. [22] | 2021 | 0.34 | Q4 | To assess the presence of plastic microfibres in mussels and anchovies from the Tyrrhenian Sea. | N=30 | Santonicola et al. [22] | |
Llorca et al. [23] | 2020 | 9.6 | Q1 | It focuses on the Mediterranean Sea and summarises the main problems and shortcomings associated with MP and NP analyses. | Review | The average concentration of floating plastics was 175 elements/km2, and for floating MP it was 127,000 particles/km2. | The risks to the environment and human health due to the presence of MP associated with complex mixtures of pollutants need to be assessed. |
Garrido Gamarro et al. [24] | 2020 | 1.767 | Q4 | Assess the knowledge on MP in seafood in relation to a potential threat to seafood safety. | Review | MP have been reported in products such as table and sea salt, beer, honey and sugar. Drinking water and seafood products seem to be more studied. | Bivalves, which are most often eaten whole, may contribute to the amount of MP ingested. Small pelagic fish appear to make a limited contribution. Concern about PM containing hazardous POPs. |
Smith et al. [25] | 2018 | 7.122 | Q1 | Describe the evidence on human exposure to MP through seafood and discuss possible health effects. | Systematic review, PubMed, Google Scholar. | Human health effects depend on exposure concentrations. Chemical additives in plastic can cause toxic effects. | Smith et al. [25] |
Jin et al. [26] | 2021 | 3.167 | Q2 | To examine our current knowledge on human exposure to MP through daily intake of food and beverages. | WOS Systematic Review | Fish is the main route of human exposure to MP through the consumption of fish or fishery products. | Aquatic foodstuffs, salt and drinking water, sources of MP come from the marine and contaminated freshwater system. |
Barboza et al. [27] | 2018 | 5.553 | Q1 | Review the evidence of contamination of seafood by MP and the consequences of its presence in the marine environment. | Review | In the marine environment, MP can act as a vehicle for chemicals. | No information is available on the fate of MP in the human body after ingestion. |
Kumar et al. [28] | 2022 | 7.086 | Q1 | To highlight the pathways of MP and NP into food chains and how these plastic particles can cause risks to human health. | Review | The high accumulation of MP in marine organisms at lower trophic levels poses potential risks to human health. | PS and PVC can cause cancer, through inhalation and dermal exposure. The health consequences in different organisms from ingestion of MP and NP are alarming. |
Pellini et al. [29] | 2018 | 8.071 | Q1 | To address the occurrence and characterisation of MP in the contents of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of common sole. | N=423. FT-IR. | MP was recorded in 95 % of the 533 fish sampled in 2014 and 2015, and more than one element of MP was found in 80 % of the specimens. | The main reason for the presence or absence of MP in the GIT is the spatial distribution and abundance of MP. |
