Effect of Physicochemical Parameters and Microplastic Pollution of Surface Water on the Primary Productivity around Kutubdia Island of Bangladesh

Distribution of Microplastics and Their Effect on the Microalgae Population in the Inshore Waters of the Bay of Bengal

AI summary · Read the abstract

Researchers studying the Bay of Bengal found that microplastic fibers — primarily nylon — were widespread in coastal waters near Chennai, India, and that higher microplastic concentrations were associated with lower microalgae populations, suggesting plastic pollution may be disrupting the base of the marine food web.

Abundance of Microplastics in Marine and Freshwater Ecosystem and it’s Impact on Biotic and Abiotic Components

AI summary · Read the abstract

This review synthesizes current knowledge on microplastic abundance across marine and freshwater environments, covering detection methods, distribution patterns, and impacts on organisms — underscoring that microplastics act not only as physical hazards but also as vectors for transporting additional chemical pollutants through ecosystems.

From Land to Water: Intensity of Plastic Pollution in Aquatic Ecosystem and Terrestrial Interfaces from the South-West Coastal Zone of Bangladesh

Microplastic pollution scenario and its effects on public health and ecosystem: a Bangladesh perspective

AI summary · Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed microplastic pollution in Bangladesh, finding that inadequate waste management drives contamination across water, soil, and marine life, with seafood species like shrimp and fish serving as key vectors for human exposure through the food chain.
