Summary

This study quantified microplastic abundance in sediments along the Puducherry coast of India, finding significant accumulation of plastic particles in a rapidly degrading marine environment. Sediment microplastic pollution is particularly concerning because sediment-dwelling organisms ingest these particles, introducing plastics into benthic food webs that eventually connect to human seafood consumption.

Study Type Environmental

Plastic pollution in oceans and rivers is a growing environmental threat, and deposition on riverbanks, deltas, beaches, and the Sea is developing rapidly. It is estimated that 60% of all plastics produced have been wasted in the natural environment. Aquatic life,...
