A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Planned Teaching Programme on Knowledge regarding Mismanagement of Plastic Waste and its Environmental Hazards among the Primary School Students in Selected Primary Schools of Kamrup District, Assam
Summary
Researchers examined microplastic ingestion by migratory waterfowl at inland wetlands, detecting particles in fecal samples from multiple duck and goose species. The study demonstrated that freshwater birds can ingest and excrete microplastics during migration, suggesting that bird movement may redistribute particles between geographically distant aquatic systems.
Plastic pollution in the environment is currently receiving global attention. Improper dumping of disused or abandoned plastic waste leads to environmental pollution.
