In this review, the capability of MPs to sorb persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and metals is investigated, along with how sorption is affected by factors, such as pH, salinity, and temperature. Sensitive receptors may take up MPs through incidental ingestion. In the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), contaminants may desorb from MPs, and this desorbed portion is then considered bioaccessible. Understanding the sorption and bioaccessibility of such contaminants is important in determining potential risks of exposure to MPs. Thus, a review is presented on the bioaccessibility of contaminants sorbed to MPs in the human and avian GIT s. The current state of knowledge on MP-contaminant interactions in freshwater systems is limited; these interactions can differ considerably from those in marine environments. The bioaccessibility of contaminants sorbed to MPs can vary significantly, from near zero to 100%, depending on MP type, contaminant characteristics, and the digestive phase.
