Microplastics and Aquatic Limnology: Conception of Biogeochemical Processes

2025
Siddhant Dash, Payal Mazumder, Manish Kumar

Summary

This study explored how microplastics discharged into freshwater bodies alter natural biogeochemical cycles, including carbon and nutrient cycling, in ways that disrupt aquatic ecosystem function. These chemical disruptions can cascade through aquatic food webs, ultimately affecting the health of organisms—including humans—that depend on freshwater ecosystems.

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging as contaminants posing serious environmental threats. Various types of MPs are being discharged into our water bodies, affecting the natural biogeochemical processes in the aquatic ecosystem, including modifications in carbon and...
