Exploration of Microplastics Pollution Sources in Terrestrial Environment: An Evidence from Malaysia
Summary
Researchers investigated the sources of microplastic pollution in Malaysia's terrestrial environments, finding that poor plastic waste management is driving contamination of soils and land ecosystems. With global plastic use projected to quadruple by 2050, the study underscores the urgent need to address land-based plastic pollution before it spreads further.
There is an increasing demand for plastic as the current global annual use of 330 million metric tonnes is predicted to increase fourfold by 2050. Attending the predicted increase of plastics production is biosphere concerns as plastic inefficiently degrades and...
