Summary

Systematic analysis of microplastic contamination in the Buriganga and Turag rivers of Dhaka found that pollution characteristics varied by matrix (water vs. sediment) and season, and that electrocoagulation treatment effectively reduced microplastic concentrations, offering a practical water treatment solution for these heavily polluted urban waterways.

This research identifies matrix and season-influenced microplastic pollution in the rivers of Dhaka in a systematic way, and an effective electrocoagulation process delivers actionable solutions for cleaner urban waterways.
