Summary

FTIR analysis detected microplastics in water samples from the Malir and Thatta rivers in Sindh, Pakistan, adding to evidence that South Asian river systems are significantly contaminated with plastic particles that can reach the ocean or drinking water sources. The short communication identifies plastic polymer types present, providing baseline data for this under-studied region.
