De hecho, así como lo estoy diciendo es que aparece en un artículo de Philosophical Transactions. ¿Será que usan es APA? (https://t.co/WGGV3EdyDI) https://t.co/9pIcvmDETq

Abstract Synopsis

  • Plastic debris has rapidly accumulated globally since the 1950s, contaminating terrestrial, oceanic, shoreline, and deep-sea environments.
  • Most plastics persist for hundreds to thousands of years, posing threats to wildlife, spreading harmful organisms, and breaking down into microplastics that are easily ingested by animals.
  • While plastic pollution levels are now stabilizing or fluctuating globally, microplastic size and abundance continue to rise, indicating ongoing environmental risks.
