Characterisation and distribution of microplastics in the inner shelf sediments of the southeast coast of India, Bay of Bengal
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers sampled seafloor sediments along India's southeast coast in the Bay of Bengal and found widespread microplastic contamination, documenting the types, shapes, and chemical makeup of the particles. The findings reveal how plastic pollution is building up in coastal marine sediments that support fisheries and local food supplies.
Microplastic Occurrence in Sediments and Associated Ecological Risk: A Study of Saurashtra Coastline, Gujarat, India
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers surveyed microplastic contamination in sediments along the Saurashtra coastline in Gujarat, India, documenting MP occurrence and assessing associated ecological risks, including toxicity and bioaccumulation in living organisms including humans.
Assessment of spatial distribution, sources, and ecological risks of microplastics in the estuarine and coastal regions of the northern Bay of Bengal
AI summary Read the abstract
Surveys of the northeastern Bay of Bengal found surface water MP concentrations up to 1,640 items/m³ in the Karnaphuli estuary, dominated by fiber-shaped polypropylene particles, with pollution risk indices ranging from medium to very high across estuarine and coastal zones. The high MP burden in this densely populated coastal region poses serious risks to marine biodiversity, local fisheries, and the millions of people who depend on Bay of Bengal seafood as a dietary staple.
Microplastics in the Marine Ecosystem of India
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers characterized the distribution, polymer composition, and ecological impacts of microplastics in India's marine ecosystems — including oceanic zones, coastal waters, and marine organisms — highlighting polymer degradation pathways and bioaccumulation in marine food webs. With India's coastline spanning over 7,500 km and supporting major fisheries, marine microplastic contamination poses direct risks to seafood safety and coastal community health.
