Summary

This review assessed the impacts of microplastics (0.05–5 mm) on aquatic habitats and evaluated sustainable remediation approaches including bioremediation, filtration, and phytoremediation to reduce contamination in freshwater and marine systems. Effective aquatic remediation is urgent because water-based microplastic exposure affects the entire food web, from zooplankton to fish to humans who consume aquatic species.

When plastic waste is dumped in the water, it eventually breaks down into small pieces. These plastic pieces, which fall into the category of microplastics (MPs), are typically 0.05–5 mm in size, and because of their small size, aquatic species regularly...
