2025
Mozim Shafi, Ayan Lodh, Khalid Muzamil Gani, Sudha Goel

Summary

Researchers reviewed the multiple pathways through which microplastics enter freshwater systems, recognizing aquatic environments as the ultimate sinks for plastic pollution from both land and air. A comprehensive understanding of these pathways is necessary to design effective interventions that reduce plastic loads before they reach oceans and human water supplies.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as an important scientific issue of global concern and have been extensively reported in each environmental compartment, with aquatic environments regarded as the ultimate receptors and sinks. Identifying relevant pathways through...
