Microplastics and the Environment: A Review

Lecture notes in civil engineering 2024
Augustine Crispin, Purushothaman Parthasarathy

Summary

Researchers reviewed the widespread presence of microplastics in aquatic environments, finding that these tiny plastic particles — made up of complex chemical and polymer combinations — have become critical contaminants in water and sediment globally. The review underscores growing concern about their ecological impact and the need for more targeted research and mitigation strategies.

Study Type Environmental

Microplastics are a large class of contaminants comprising a sophisticated combination of chemicals and polymers prevalent in water and sediment. Numerous aquatic environments, including microplastics have been established as critical environmental contaminants in...
