Overview of elements (concentrations in mg/kg microplastics) quantified in leachates of the microplastics. ENV-1: environmental microplastic < 1 mm; environmental microplastic < 3 mm; PA: polyamide; PE: Polyethylene; PET: Polyethylene terephthalate; PP-1/PP-2: Polypropylene; PS: Polystyrene; PVC: Polyvinylchloride; P: elements in microplastics; D elements in intestinal chyme following in vitro digestion; T elements in basolateral compartment following exposure to in vitro epithelial Caco-2 cell layer. Red: value out of scale range
