Characterization and Source Apportionment of Microplastic Contamination in Water Reservoirs: A Case Study in Ranchi, India
Summary
This case study characterized microplastic contamination in water reservoirs in Ranchi, India, identifying polymer types, particle morphologies, and likely local sources of contamination. Reservoir studies in rapidly urbanizing regions illuminate how microplastics penetrate drinking water sources in lower-income settings where treatment infrastructure may be least equipped to remove them.
Microplastics (MPs) (≤5 mm) are ubiquitous in nature and have inhabited every sphere of our planet. Studies around the globe have focused on their impact on biological organisms and the environment. The world is thinking over ways to control these particles...
