Summary

Researchers reviewed the sources, distribution, and ecological risks of microplastics as contaminants of emerging concern in aquatic environments, documenting pathways from industrial discharge and wastewater treatment plants and highlighting their capacity to adsorb other pollutants and harm aquatic life.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics (MPs) have appeared as ubiquitous contaminants and pose a risk to aquatic environments as well as humans. They enter the environment from different sources, for e.g., discharge from industries, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) emissions, breakdown of...
