Spatial dynamics of microplastics in Mula- Mutha River: A compehensive assessment of distribution, concentration, pollution load, and associated risks in the Pune Metropolitan Region
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers characterized microplastic distribution in sediments across the Mula-Mutha River in the Pune Metropolitan Region, India using SEM and FTIR analysis, finding pronounced accumulation in fine to medium-grained sediment matrices across four particle size ranges. River sediments in densely populated urban basins serve as long-term sinks for microplastic pollution, creating persistent contamination reservoirs that affect aquatic life and downstream water quality.
Microplastic Contamination of the Aquatic Environment in the Indian Scenario: A Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microplastic distribution and ecological risk across India's aquatic environments, finding polyethylene, polypropylene, and PET as the dominant polymers in water, sediment, and fish — including edible species — with contamination detected even in remote Himalayan locations.
Microplastic Pollution in Indian Aquatic Ecosystems: Insights and Implications
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers documented widespread microplastic contamination across Indian lakes, rivers, and coastal waters — including in remote high-altitude regions like Ladakh — showing that no aquatic ecosystem in the country is untouched, with direct implications for the hundreds of millions of people who depend on these water sources.
Microplastics pollution in the rivers, its source, and impact on aquatic life: a review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed global evidence of microplastic contamination in rivers and lakes, finding that plastic particles serve as carriers for toxic chemicals, harm aquatic life through ingestion and entanglement, and enter human food and water supplies, while also exploring plant-based plastic alternatives that could reduce future pollution.
Microplastic (MP) Pollution in the Context of Occurrence, Distribution, Composition and Concentration in Surface Waters and Sediments: A Global Overview
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers compiled global data showing microplastic pollution is essentially everywhere — in surface waters and sediments worldwide — with some locations finding microplastics in nearly every sample collected, underscoring how pervasive this contamination has become.
