Microplastics have been reported from various ecosystems including lakes, ponds,
wetlands, mountains, and forests globally. Recent research works showed microplastic …

Abstract (Micro) plastics pollution has raised global concern because of its potential threat to
the biota. The review on recent developments of photocatalytic degradation of (micro) …

Urban runoff seems an obvious pathway for the transfer of microplastics (MPs) and phthalate
acid esters (PAEs) from land-based sources to the marine environment; an issue that still …

In this study, we assess the magnitude, type, and sources of microplastic (MP) in lake bottom
sediments collected from freshwater Anchar Lake, located in the Kashmir Valley, Northwest …

The versatile use of various synthetic polymers, including plastics, generates a large volume
of non-degradable waste, which is eventually responsible for forming microplastics (MPs) in …

The presence of microplastic particles from five different beach locations (Arabian Sea
coast) in the Indian state of Karnataka was assessed. The sieving and density separation …

The present study was carried out to quantify microplastic prevalence among 20 sandy
beaches on the Gujarat coast. Beaches were categorised into three different classes, viz …

The increased production and consumption scale of plastic items has led to the generation
of microplastics (MPs), an emerging class of contaminants, in our environment. MPs are …

Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) are a pollutant of growing ecotoxicological concern for
marine and human health. This critical review aims (i) to systematically evaluate the findings …

The rise in the use of single-use plastics and personal protective equipment (PPE) has
increased plastic waste in the marine environment. In this study, we surveyed the presence …
