Summary

Researchers monitored microplastic concentrations in surface water and sediments across two salinity zones of the Indian Sundarbans mangrove delta, finding elevated levels linked to nearby human activity and raising concerns for one of the world's largest coastal ecosystems.

We monitored microplastics in ambient surface water and sediments in two different sectors of Indian Sundarbans during August 2023, which are significantly different in terms of salinity. The western sector of Indian Sundarbans is exposed to high anthropogenic...
