Microplastic pollution scenario and its effects on public health and ecosystem: a Bangladesh perspective
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed microplastic pollution in Bangladesh, finding that inadequate waste management drives contamination across water, soil, and marine life, with seafood species like shrimp and fish serving as key vectors for human exposure through the food chain.
From pollution to policy: a holistic review of microplastics in the environment of Bangladesh
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted a holistic review of microplastic pollution in Bangladesh, covering environmental contamination patterns, analytical methodology challenges, and policy gaps, linking findings to multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals including clean water, sustainable cities, and life below water.
Commonly Used Disposable Plastic Bags as a Source of Microplastic in Environment
AI summary Read the abstract
Disposable plastic bags degrade over time into microplastic particles, contributing substantially to environmental microplastic contamination even as policy measures attempt to curb their use. Understanding plastic bags as a diffuse secondary microplastic source underscores the need for stricter material bans rather than mere reduction incentives.
Current State of Microplastics Research in SAARC Countries—A Review
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed the current state of microplastics research across SAARC countries, finding significant data gaps in monitoring, limited regional policy frameworks, and growing contamination in both aquatic and terrestrial environments that threaten the health of ecosystems and populations across South Asia.
Distribution Patterns and Ecological Risks of Microplastics at Major Waste Disposal Environments in Dhaka, Bangladesh
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers characterized microplastics in agricultural soils and surface water near Dhaka's largest waste disposal site, finding up to 2,800 particles/kg in soil and 376 particles/liter in water, with polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene predominating and ecological risk rated medium-to-high. The study identifies plastic mulch, irrigation water, and compost as major contamination pathways, highlighting the particular vulnerability of food-producing land near urban waste sites.
