Today microplastics (MPs) have received worldwide attention as an emerging environmental pollution which is one of the four major global environmental threat and health hazard to human as well. Unfortunately, MPs have been founded in the all environments and media include air, water resources, sediments, and soil. It should not be forgotten MPs have also been detected in food and processing products like tuna. MPs can be ingested by marine organisms such as zooplankton, fish and birds. Accumulation and distribution of MPs by commercially important aquatic organisms is expected to lead to greater exposure risk for human populations with possible adverse effects over time. The aim of this work was to review the published literature regarding the contamination of commercial fish muscle for human consumption. Furthermore, a short revision of the environmental contamination and human health effects by MPs are included. We also estimated human daily intake considering the worldwide contamination of commercial fish muscle ranged from 0.016 items/g muscle of fish to 6.06 items/g muscle of fish. MPs have been found in 56.5% of the commercial fish samples analysed here. As fish is used in human food table across the word, they constitute a long-term exposure route for all humans and raise the concern about the potential public health risk.
如今，微塑料（MPs）作为一种新兴的环境污染问题受到了全球关注，它也是对人类构成四大全球环境威胁和健康危害之一。不幸的是，MPs 已经在所有环境和介质中被发现，包括空气、水资源、沉积物和土壤。不应忘记的是，MPs 也在金枪鱼等食品和加工产品中被检测到。MPs 可被海洋生物如浮游动物、鱼类和鸟类摄入。商业上重要的水生生物中 MPs 的积累和分布预计会导致人类群体面临更大的暴露风险，并可能随着时间的推移产生不利影响。这项工作的目的是回顾有关商业鱼类肌肉供人类食用的污染的已发表文献。此外，还包括 MPs 的环境污染和对人类健康影响的简短综述。我们还考虑到商业鱼类肌肉的全球污染情况，估计了人类每天的摄入量，范围从鱼类肌肉中的 0.016 个/克肌肉到 6.06 个/克肌肉。在分析的商业鱼类样本中，有 56.5%发现了 MPs。由于鱼类在全球范围内被用于人类食品，它们构成了所有人类的长期暴露途径，并引起了对潜在公共健康风险的关注。
