Microplastics Occurrence in Different Regions Around the World
Summary
Researchers reviewed microplastic occurrence across diverse aquatic environments worldwide — oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, beaches, and mangroves — finding that contamination is global but unevenly studied, with only about 22% of countries having conducted research. The data gaps suggest that actual microplastic exposure may be far greater than current monitoring reflects.
Microplastics (MPs) have been detected in diverse aquatic environments, including oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, beaches, coastlines, and even in mangroves. A recent study has brought to light that almost 22% of the countries have carried out studies on MPs. From these...
