Researchers measured the concentration and types of microplastics in coastal waters of Kerala, India, contributing regional data to the global picture of ocean plastic contamination. Understanding microplastic distribution in coastal zones is critical because these areas are biodiversity hotspots and major sources of seafood consumed by local and global populations.
Plastic debris or microplastics ranging between 1 and 5000 μm is currently a global issue that has drawn the attention of the scientific community and policymakers. A recent report reckons about 51 trillion microplastic particles float in surface waters...
