The Silent Invaders: Microplastic Accumulation, Impacts, and Monitoring Approaches
AI summary Read the abstract
This review covers microplastic accumulation patterns across environmental compartments, ecological and human health impacts, and monitoring approaches used globally. It identifies critical knowledge gaps in understanding long-term accumulation dynamics and highlights the need for standardized monitoring frameworks.
Environmental pollution caused by microplastics (MPs) has evolved into a global concern; however, the knowledge about MP accumulation in the environment, potential impacts, and monitoring approaches is limited [...].
