Summary

Researchers characterized the abundance, size, color, and polymer types of microplastics in coastal marine sediments along the Bay of Bengal in India, contributing regional data needed to understand how microplastics accumulate on the seafloor and to develop sustainable management strategies for coastal pollution.

One of the serious environmental problems is the abundance and distribution of microplastics which has been identified as a potential factor, especially in oceans and seas. This study reveals MPs abundance, and distribution, based on the colors, size, and polymer...
