Summary

Researchers measured microplastic concentrations in river sediments around Dhaka, Bangladesh, finding widespread plastic particle pollution in one of the world's most densely populated cities — adding to evidence that heavily urbanized river systems are major reservoirs of microplastic contamination.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics (MPs) pollution has gained global attention as an emerging environmental issue considering ubiquity, chemical inertness and adverse impact. Studies on MPs are mostly concentrated on the marine environment and there are very limited studies on MPs in...
