A Call to Action for Addressing Microplastic Pollution: Mitigation and Solutions

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers reviewed physical, chemical, and biological strategies for reducing microplastic pollution, highlighting that no single solution is sufficient and calling for coordinated, multi-pronged action to address what has become a global environmental crisis.

In light of the escalating issue of microplastic (MP) pollution, it has become essential to seek inventive strategies for mitigating the presence of MP. The strategies utilized for MP elimination can be categorized into three categories: physical, chemical, or...
