Current status of marine litter and microplastic contamination across India’s coastal boundaries: Challenges and Management
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the state of marine litter and microplastic contamination along India's extensive coastline, identifying major pollution sources and management gaps that need to be addressed to protect both marine ecosystems and coastal communities.
Microplastics in the Marine Ecosystem of India
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers characterized the distribution, polymer composition, and ecological impacts of microplastics in India's marine ecosystems — including oceanic zones, coastal waters, and marine organisms — highlighting polymer degradation pathways and bioaccumulation in marine food webs. With India's coastline spanning over 7,500 km and supporting major fisheries, marine microplastic contamination poses direct risks to seafood safety and coastal community health.
Microplastic threat: new studies and policies to reduce plastic waste pollution in the marine environment
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers review the global regulatory landscape for marine microplastic pollution, assessing where current monitoring techniques and policy frameworks fall short and identifying lessons from international case studies that could inform more effective interdisciplinary governance strategies.
Microplastic Pollution in India: An Overview
AI summary Read the abstract
This overview characterized microplastic contamination across India's marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments, documenting polymer types, concentration ranges, and geographic hotspots tied to urbanization, industry, and poor waste management infrastructure. India's scale as a plastic producer and its rapidly growing coastal and inland population make understanding domestic contamination patterns urgent for protecting both ecosystems and public health.
Unveiling Microplastic Pollution in India: Reviewing Contamination Across Coastal Ecosystems
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microplastic contamination across India's coastal ecosystems, synthesizing data on abundance, polymer types, and distribution patterns in sediments, seawater, and marine organisms along some of the world's most densely populated and industrially active coastlines. India's rapidly expanding plastic economy and limited coastal waste management create hotspots of microplastic exposure for both marine wildlife and human communities dependent on coastal fisheries.
