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.
Microplastic in the Sediment Ecosystem of India
AI summary Read the abstract
This study investigated microplastic accumulation in sediment ecosystems across India, including deep-sea environments, finding widespread contamination across diverse marine habitats. Sediment microplastics are a critical concern because they act as long-term reservoirs that slowly release particles and associated toxins into benthic food webs, ultimately reaching commercially harvested seafood consumed by humans.
Occurrence of Microplastics in Coastal Waters of Kerala
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers measured the concentration and types of microplastics in coastal waters of Kerala, India, contributing regional data to the global picture of ocean plastic contamination. Understanding microplastic distribution in coastal zones is critical because these areas are biodiversity hotspots and major sources of seafood consumed by local and global populations.
