Summary

Effective sampling and recovery of microplastics from diverse environmental matrices remains a significant technical challenge due to the wide variation in particle size, shape, and polymer type. Standardizing collection and identification methods is a prerequisite for accurate risk assessment of microplastic contamination across ecosystems.

Recent literature establishes profoundly the occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in an array of ecosystems; as an emanating phenomenon for the world to deal with. The presence of these MPs in the ecosystem needs to be appraised and scrutinized, to gauge its impacts for...
