Distribution Pattern of Microplastics in Aquatic Sources
Summary
Researchers reviewed the distribution patterns of microplastics across freshwater and marine environments, highlighting how single-use plastics break down into particles that accumulate throughout aquatic ecosystems. The widespread distribution of microplastics in water bodies raises serious ecotoxicological concerns for aquatic life and for people who consume water from these sources.
Plastic is constantly finding its way into aquatic environments due to its use in everyday consumer goods, many of which are single-use. Plastic waste can break down into smaller pieces (<5 mm), leading to increasing ecotoxicological concerns in the aquatic...
