Summary

Microplastics are found across terrestrial and marine environments globally, but fragmented data on sources, transport pathways, and ecological impacts hampers effective regulatory responses. Comprehensive monitoring and coordinated policy frameworks are needed to curb plastic pollution before it causes irreversible damage to ecosystems and human health.

Microplastics pollution of terrestrial and marine environmental compartments is an issue of concern worldwide, but information on the key sources, pathways, distribution, and impacts is still scarce in many cases, fragmentary at best, and typically difficult to...
