Assessment of Potential Ecological Risk of Microplastics in India
Summary
This study assessed the ecological risks of microplastic contamination across India's aquatic ecosystems, evaluating particle abundance data against toxicological benchmarks to identify regions and species at highest risk. India's densely populated river basins and coastal zones concentrate both plastic inputs and the populations most dependent on aquatic food sources, making this risk assessment foundational for prioritizing regulatory intervention.
The prevalence of microplastics (MPs), identified as plastic particles of smaller- size (<5 mm), poses a significant global environmental concern, particularly for aquatic ecosystems. Amidst India's ongoing battle with plastic pollution, addressing the...
