Microplastic Occurrence in Sediments and Associated Ecological Risk: A Study of Saurashtra Coastline, Gujarat, India
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers surveyed microplastic contamination in sediments along the Saurashtra coastline in Gujarat, India, documenting MP occurrence and assessing associated ecological risks, including toxicity and bioaccumulation in living organisms including humans.
Surface water assessment of microplastic contamination at three beaches in North Goa, India
AI summary Read the abstract
All three tested beaches in North Goa, India—Baga, Anjuna, and Vagator—showed measurable microplastic contamination in surface water, with fiber shapes and PET polymer most prevalent, and risk indices flagging hazardous pollution levels at every site. These findings underscore that even tourist coastlines in developing regions face serious microplastic threats, with implications for the seafood consumed by local communities and visitors.
Microplastics in the Marine Ecosystem of India
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers characterized the distribution, polymer composition, and ecological impacts of microplastics in India's marine ecosystems — including oceanic zones, coastal waters, and marine organisms — highlighting polymer degradation pathways and bioaccumulation in marine food webs. With India's coastline spanning over 7,500 km and supporting major fisheries, marine microplastic contamination poses direct risks to seafood safety and coastal community health.
Assessment of microplastic contamination in coastal surface waters: a case study of five beaches in South Goa, India
AI summary Read the abstract
A survey of five beaches in South Goa, India found microplastic concentrations averaging 1.21 particles per liter, dominated by fibers and common polymers like polyethylene and polypropylene, with a Pollution Hazard Index categorized at the highest risk level. The findings establish that heavily visited Indian coastal waters face severe microplastic contamination, threatening the rich biodiversity of these ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.
