A research team led by Professor Kim Tae-won of Inha University has for the first time identified the phenomenon of biomagnification of microplastics within the Incheon tidal flat ecosystem. Through the analysis of 81 samples, the team confirmed that top predators accumulate up to 9.6 times more microplastics in their bodies than their prey, providing important evidence for understanding the pathways of plastic accumulation in tidal flat organis…
