Microplastics Waste and Its Eco-Friendly Management

2024

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed the environmental damage caused by microplastics in oceans, lakes, rivers, and coastal regions, and evaluated eco-friendly management strategies to reduce plastic particle pollution before it further accumulates in ecosystems and the food chain.

The microplastics waste has a major adverse impact on oceans, lakes, seas, rivers, and coastal region, the environment seriously threatened by them. Microplastics (MPs) are particles of plastic with a diameter of <5 mm that can be found in both primary and...

Generation and Management of Microplastic Waste

AI summary Read the abstract

Microplastics are generated throughout the plastic lifecycle from manufacturing to disposal and persist in both terrestrial and aquatic environments due to their resistance to degradation. Effective waste management strategies that intercept microplastics before environmental release are critical to preventing further accumulation in soils, water, and living organisms.
