Health Impacts of Microplastics on the Indian Terrestrial Ecosystem
Summary
Researchers examine how microplastic contamination affects India's terrestrial ecosystems, noting that terrestrial environments receive 4 to 23 times more plastic debris than marine systems annually, with industrialization, urbanization, and agricultural plastic use driving health risks to wildlife, soil organisms, and human populations across the country.
Microplastic was first discovered in the marine environment, but 4–23 times more plastic debris contaminates the terrestrial ecosystem yearly. Rapid industrialisation, urbanisation, growing demand for plastic consumption, ineffective agricultural...
