The Fate of Microplastics from Terrestrial to Coastal Environments Along the Western Continental Margin of India
Summary
This study tracked the journey of microplastics from terrestrial sources through rivers to coastal waters along western India, mapping how land-based plastic pollution ultimately reaches the ocean. Understanding this transport pathway is key to identifying where interventions can most effectively reduce the flow of microplastics into marine ecosystems.
Microplastics, defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, have become a significant environmental problem in both terrestrial and riverine environments worldwide. Recent research has focused on understanding the impact of microplastics in these areas,...
