Editorial Policy

Microplastics Wiki aims to publish neutral, factual, source-aware information about microplastics and nanoplastics. Articles should distinguish between established exposure pathways, developing research, practical household reduction strategies, and unresolved health-risk questions.

Source hierarchy

Preferred sources include official public-health and environmental agencies, standards organizations, systematic reviews, peer-reviewed literature, and primary documents. Commercial claims, marketplace listings, and product marketing should be treated cautiously and separated from editorial explanations.

AI-assisted workflow

Drafting, summarization, formatting, and checklist generation may be assisted by automated tools. The site should not present AI-generated summaries as medical certainty. Factual claims should be checked against cited sources, and uncertainty should be stated plainly.

Affiliate separation

Affiliate links may appear on the site, but monetization should not override source quality, risk communication, or reader trust. Product links are practical examples and should not be treated as proof of a scientific claim.

Corrections and updates

Corrections and source updates should be handled promptly when a cited source changes materially, a better source becomes available, or an article is found to overstate evidence. When uncertainty exists, articles should say so plainly.
