Summary

Researchers highlighted the unique challenges facing microplastic research in Asia and Africa, where pollution levels are often high but scientific infrastructure and funding are more limited. Closing these knowledge gaps is critical, as people in these regions may face some of the greatest health risks from microplastic exposure.

There is no doubt that microplastics are currently one of the major pollutants in our ecosystem, especially in Asia and Africa. Despite the numerous studies delivering important information regarding microplastics in the environment, their effects on the ecosystem,...
