Microplastics have received growing concerns from both society and the scientific community due to their widespread presence in the environment and their potential toxic effects. In this chapter, we present the toxic effects of microplastics on estuarine and marine organisms, freshwater organisms, soil organisms, and human health, including the enrichment of microplastics in organisms and the toxic mechanisms. In addition, the compound toxicity of microplastics with other environmental pollutants is also discussed.
