Microplastics in freshwater ecosystem: A serious threat for freshwater environment
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microplastic distribution, toxicity, and transport in Indian freshwater ecosystems, finding that rivers like the Ganges are significant conduits of plastic pollution to the ocean and that microplastics can adsorb co-pollutants such as heavy metals, compounding harm to aquatic organisms.
Microplastics in Freshwater Ecosystem: Implication for Tropic Transfer, Food Security and Human Health Risk
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microplastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems, tracing sources from personal care products, synthetic textiles, and wastewater plants, and examining how particles smaller than 5 mm move through trophic levels with implications for food security and human health.
Microplastics in Freshwater Environments: Sources, Fates and Toxicity
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the sources, environmental fate, and toxicity of microplastics in freshwater ecosystems, finding that microplastics cause physical injury and histological damage to aquatic organisms and act as vectors amplifying the toxicity of co-occurring chemical pollutants.
Microplastics in Freshwater Environments: Sources, Behaviour, and Ecotoxicity
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed sources, transport behavior, and ecotoxicological impacts of microplastics in freshwater ecosystems, finding that rivers and lakes are both pathways and sinks for plastic particles and that biological effects on freshwater organisms remain poorly characterized compared to marine systems.
Microplastics in Freshwater Ecosystems
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the widespread presence of microplastics in freshwater environments — including remote lakes and rivers — finding that microfibers from textiles are the most commonly detected type. Since freshwater is a source of drinking water and food, its contamination with microplastics has direct implications for human health.
