Combating Plastic Pollution in Terrestrial Environment
AI summary Read the abstract
This book brings together research on how plastic waste is piling up in soil and land ecosystems, not just the ocean, and explores practical ways to reuse or repurpose that waste instead of throwing it away. This matters because plastic that breaks down in soil can turn into microplastics, tiny particles that may end up in our food and water supply, potentially affecting human health over time. While the book focuses mainly on environmental solutions, reducing land-based plastic pollution is a key step toward limiting our overall exposure to these particles.
Addressing the Microplastic Pollution: A Societal Challenge
AI summary Read the abstract
This comprehensive review maps microplastic sources, transport pathways, and impacts across soil, water, and air compartments, highlighting urban runoff, agriculture, and industrial discharge as key contributors alongside ecological and public health costs. The synthesis underscores the urgent need for standardized long-term monitoring and adaptive policy strategies to address what has become a pervasive, multi-compartment pollution crisis.
Microplastic Pollution in India as an Emerging Concern
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the sources, distribution, and ecological impacts of microplastic pollution across India's diverse environmental compartments, highlighting gaps in monitoring data and the absence of national regulatory frameworks specific to MNP contamination. Closing these knowledge and governance gaps is essential for a country whose rivers, coastlines, and agricultural soils face mounting plastic pollution pressure affecting food and water security.
The Microplastics: Their Occurrence and Impacts in India—A Review
AI summary Read the abstract
"This review surveyed the distribution and ecological impacts of microplastics across India's marine environments and nine coastal states, finding that research is sparse despite India being surrounded by heavily polluted ocean regions. Closing this knowledge gap is urgent because Indian coastal communities and marine food webs face substantial but poorly understood microplastic exposure risks."
A Call to Action for Addressing Microplastic Pollution: Mitigation and Solutions
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed physical, chemical, and biological strategies for reducing microplastic pollution, highlighting that no single solution is sufficient and calling for coordinated, multi-pronged action to address what has become a global environmental crisis.
