Summary

Microplastics have been detected in freshwater rivers, lakes, and drinking water supplies worldwide, with research in this area growing rapidly since around 2013. Their presence in drinking water represents a direct human exposure pathway, making freshwater microplastic contamination a public health concern alongside the ecological risks to aquatic organisms.

Study Type Environmental
