Summary

Researchers identified, characterized, and quantified microplastics in groundwater samples collected from bore wells near the Vellalore municipal solid waste dump yard in Coimbatore, India, finding contamination that linked landfill leachate to local drinking water sources. This study demonstrates that even in regions without advanced waste management infrastructure, landfill-derived microplastics can migrate into groundwater supplies that communities depend on for drinking and irrigation, creating direct human exposure pathways.

The study examined to identify, characterize, and quantify microplastics in Groundwater samples around the municipal solid waste dumpsites, namely Vellalore dump yard, Coimbatore Corporation in South India. We have collected groundwater samples from bore well (15...
