“…The issue of plastics, like climate change, can be divisive and split a community. At the extremes, there are people who focus on the many benefits and conveniences that plastics provide versus the people who focus on the resulting extensive environmental damage such as fish kills. , Consumer behavior and practices in relation to plastics and/or products containing plastics highlight the significance of community and societal values on the anthropogenic microplastics contaminant loading into the WSS. For instance, primary microplastics enter the WSS through usage of personal care products containing microbeads, highlighting the power of consumer choice.…”

“…The total amount of MeHg in each functional group is calculated based on ve processes: predator-prey interactions, direct uptake from seawater, internal metabolism, internal decay, and harvest. Walters and Christensen (2018) 45 provided a detailed description of the Ecotracer module, and this tool has been applied to simulate the dynamics of various contaminants in marine ecosystems, including Hg, 44,46,47 persistent organic pollutants, [46][47][48] microplastics, 49 and radioisotopes. 45,50,51 The intake amounts of MeHg for functional group i come from the uptake of MeHg from either water (i.e., m i B i C o in eqn (1)) or food (i.e., AE i P j¼prey Q ji C j in eqn ( 1)).…”
