Summary

Researchers provided a comprehensive overview of microplastic contamination across environmental compartments — oceans, freshwater, soil, and air — documenting sources, persistence, and ecological effects of these ubiquitous pollutants. The review establishes a foundational understanding of microplastic distribution patterns essential for developing effective monitoring frameworks and policy interventions.

The global community has witnessed a significant and prominent issue of microplastics (MPs) contamination in the environments as a result of the ever-increasing and necessary plastic productions, which possess several beneficial mechanical and chemical...
