Microplastics Pollution in Coastal Zones
Summary
Researchers reviewed microplastic pollution dynamics in coastal zones, finding that land-derived plastics degrade into micro- and nanoplastics under environmental weathering and accumulate along coastlines, where they adsorb chemical contaminants and pose layered risks to marine organisms and coastal communities.
Marine plastic waste pollution is an emerging environmental issue worldwide. The plastics from the land sources come into oceans and owing to weathering become degraded into microplastics, nanoplastics and other plastic debris. The microplastics’ exposure to...
