Microplastic Contamination of the Aquatic Environment in the Indian Scenario: A Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microplastic distribution and ecological risk across India's aquatic environments, finding polyethylene, polypropylene, and PET as the dominant polymers in water, sediment, and fish — including edible species — with contamination detected even in remote Himalayan locations.
Microplastic Pollution in Indian Aquatic Ecosystems: Insights and Implications
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers documented widespread microplastic contamination across Indian lakes, rivers, and coastal waters — including in remote high-altitude regions like Ladakh — showing that no aquatic ecosystem in the country is untouched, with direct implications for the hundreds of millions of people who depend on these water sources.
Microplastics as Contaminant in Freshwater Ecosystem: A Modern Environmental Issue
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastics have permeated freshwater ecosystems globally, degrading ecological integrity and entering food webs through ingestion by aquatic organisms at multiple trophic levels. The contamination of freshwater environments is particularly concerning because these systems serve as drinking water sources and are integral to food production for human populations.
Microplastics as Contaminant in FreshWater Ecosystem: A Modern Environmental Issue
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastics have become a pervasive contaminant in freshwater ecosystems, disrupting food webs and threatening aquatic biodiversity through ingestion, chemical leaching, and physical harm to organisms. As freshwater systems are primary sources of drinking water and food, microplastic contamination in rivers and lakes carries direct implications for human health.
Health Impact of Microplastic on Indian Aquatic System
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined microplastic contamination in India's aquatic systems, finding that poor waste management has led to 79% of plastic waste entering landfills or water bodies, where abiotic degradation generates microplastics that bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms and threaten public health.
