Microplastic (MP) environmental contamination has been widely studied in Mexico. However, the evaluation of the associated risk to MPs in environmental compartments is scarce. Therefore, this study addresses this issue using diverse indicators such as the Pollution Load Index (PLI), the Polymer Risk...
