Transport Mechanism of Microplastic in the Environment
Summary
This review described the physical and chemical mechanisms by which microplastics are transported through air, water, and soil — including atmospheric deposition, hydrological flow, bioturbation, and biofouling — that collectively explain their detection in remote environments from Arctic sea ice to mountain summits. Elucidating these transport mechanisms reveals that no geographic location or ecosystem is isolated from microplastic contamination, underscoring the inevitability of human exposure through air, water, and food globally.
Microplastics are small plastic particles that have evolved over the years as persistent contaminant in the environment and this have a detrimental effect on the environment. Plastics are abundantly produced worldwide and after immediate and subsequent use,...
