Summary

This review examines the distribution, fate, and ecological impacts of microplastics in wetland ecosystems, which serve as both sinks and potential secondary sources of microplastic contamination. Wetlands filter water supplies and support biodiversity, so microplastic accumulation there directly threatens aquatic food webs, drinking water quality, and the communities that depend on these ecosystems.

Study Type Environmental

The most recent non-biodegradable contaminants in natural ecosystems are micro-plastics. Due to of its small diameters (less than 1 mm), it has an influence on both people and wildlife, especially aquatic species. In addition to being prevalent in freshwater...
