Summary

Researchers reviewed the scope of microplastic pollution and the emerging field of bioremediation, exploring how microorganisms might help break down plastic particles in the environment while acknowledging the significant scientific and practical challenges that remain.

Microplastics are less than 5 mm in diameter, composed of various chemical constituents, and come from numerous sources. Because of wide use and irrational disposal of plastics, microplastics have become a major environmental problem on a global scale. Increasing...
