Includes a range of topics, from macro- to microplastics Presents data from source to sink, including occurrence and distribution of microplastics in freshwater bodies, coastal zones, and the open ocean Presents the impacts of microplastics on marine life as well as microplastics as vectors of biolo...
The impact of microplastics on marine ecosystems Introduction Plastic is one of the most ubiquitous Materials in the modern world, and it has numerous uses, from packaging to making electronics. However, it has a significant downside. Plastic pollution is a massive environmental challenge, especially...
The heartbreaking sight of marine animals suffering due to human plastic consumption serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need to address this issue. Furthermore, the presence of microplastics in the marine environment poses a significant threat to marine life. These tiny plastic particles, ...
Microplastic contamination of lakes and rivers is an emerging environmental issue. Sources, environmental fate, in-situ behaviour, concentration and harmful impacts of microplastics on aquatic life are the focus of this review paper. Present review summarises the current state of information about microp...
The harmful impact of plastic pollution Plastic pollution impacts the environment, society, economies, and human health. Plastic objects can persist in the oceans for up to hundreds of years, all the while constantly breaking down into microplastics – increasing the damage to marine life and becomi...
