Potential Bioindicators of Microplastics for Monitoring Microplastic Pollution

Earth and environmental sciences library 2025
Vikram Mor, Wazir Singh, Pradeep Khyalia

Summary

Researchers evaluate potential bioindicator species for microplastic monitoring, identifying organisms that reliably accumulate and reflect ambient plastic particle levels across marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems, and discussing their utility for standardized environmental surveillance programs.

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous contaminants that pose serious dangers to human health and the environment. Therefore, reliable bioindicator species that may collect and reflect the presence of MPs in diverse ecosystems are necessary for the efficient monitoring...
