These wastes can contain oils, chemicals, sewage, or even foreign organisms. And then, there is the noise of the boat as its propeller forces it through the water. These various forms of pollution affect our oceans in a number of ways....
Pollution of the Ocean by Plastic and Trash Garbage has been discarded into the oceans for as long as humans have sailed the seven seas or lived on seashores or near waterways flowing into the sea. Since the 1940s, plastic use has increased dramatically, resulting in a huge quantity of ...
Plastic pollution, harmful accumulation of synthetic plastic products in the environment. Plastics are persistent large-scale pollutants, and plastic debris (such as bottles, straws, containers, and plastic wrap) and particulates have been found in many
While extensive research has explored the effects of plastic pollution, ecosystem responses remain poorly quantified, especially in field experiments. In this study, we investigated the impact of polyester pollution, a prevalent plastic type, on coastal sediment ecosystem function. Strips of polyester net...
Global oceans receive a certain portion of this plastic (Barnes et al., 2009; Law, 2017). It is largely unknown how much plastic enters and is retained in the ocean because the behavior and fate of plastics in the marine environment is still unclear. A large portion of marine plastic ...
The main objective of this research is to depict the status and measures to be taken to tackle marine plastic pollution in India. In this concern, a GIS map has been created to depict the plastic input from different river basins of India. Further, the guiding model has been developed, ...
Since the 1950s the number of plastics in the marine environment has increased dramatically. It is estimated that between 4.8 and 12.7 million tons of land-based plastic waste end up in the ocean every year. The total negative impact on oceans has been estimated at approx. $8 billion per ...

Water pollution is the release of substances (such as chemicals or microorganisms) or energy (in the form of radioactivity or heat) into surface and subsurface waters to the point that the substances interfere with beneficial use of the water or with the
