Summary

Researchers reviewed microplastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems, tracing sources from personal care products, synthetic textiles, and wastewater plants, and examining how particles smaller than 5 mm move through trophic levels with implications for food security and human health.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, are ubiquitous in freshwater ecosystems, emanating from sources such as personal care products, synthetic textiles, domestic items, fisheries, wastewater treatment facilities, and industrial...
