Distribution and Characterization of Microplastics Along the Coastal Shoreline of Thiruvananthapuram District, Kerala, India
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers surveyed 25 beach sites along the Kerala coastline in India and found microplastics at every location, with fibers making up over 80% of particles, likely originating from fishing activity. The findings highlight the need for targeted plastic waste management in coastal fishing communities.
Occurrence of Microplastics in Coastal Waters of Kerala
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers measured the concentration and types of microplastics in coastal waters of Kerala, India, contributing regional data to the global picture of ocean plastic contamination. Understanding microplastic distribution in coastal zones is critical because these areas are biodiversity hotspots and major sources of seafood consumed by local and global populations.
Hidden Dangers of Microplastic Pollution Along RK Beach, Visakhapatnam, East Coast of India: Impacts on Marine Ecosystems and Human Health: A Preliminary Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microplastic pollution dynamics along RK Beach in Visakhapatnam, India, synthesizing evidence on how particle accumulation in nearshore marine environments threatens local ecosystems and represents a potential exposure pathway for coastal communities.
Microplastics in the Marine Ecosystem of India
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers characterized the distribution, polymer composition, and ecological impacts of microplastics in India's marine ecosystems — including oceanic zones, coastal waters, and marine organisms — highlighting polymer degradation pathways and bioaccumulation in marine food webs. With India's coastline spanning over 7,500 km and supporting major fisheries, marine microplastic contamination poses direct risks to seafood safety and coastal community health.
Microplastic Debris in the Beach Sediments of the Kanyakumari Coast, India: Insights on Pollution Load and Environmental Stress Index
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers surveyed beaches along India's Kanyakumari coast and found an average of 1,120 microplastic particles per kilogram of sediment, with fragments and fibers dominant, and a clear link between higher levels of human activity and greater microplastic abundance. The findings quantify pollution load at a heavily visited coastal region, highlighting how anthropogenic activity directly drives microplastic accumulation in nearshore environments.
