Environmental concerns microbeads pollution

Microbeads are tiny plastic particles (typically less than 5mm) used in cosmetics and personal care products. The primary environmental concern is that they persist in marine ecosystems, are ingested by marine organisms, and accumulate in food chains. They do not directly cause skin cancer in children, are not typically absorbed by crop plants in significant quantities, and are not primarily a food adulterant concern (though microplastics can enter food chains). The major issue is bioaccumulation in marine environments and their toxicity to aquatic life. > Microbeads are microplastics that persist in marine ecosystems, harm aquatic organisms, and bioaccumulate. Answer: (a).
