Summary

Researchers reviewed microplastic contamination in freshwater river systems, documenting how plastics enter via industrial and domestic discharge, transfer up the food chain through trophic levels, and outlined potential biological and physical remediation strategies for river environments.

Study Type Environmental

The story of human civilization will remain incomplete without addressing the contribution of rivers in our life. The riverine system is the largest source of the freshwater aquatic body. River confluences and its tributaries play a significant role in human life....
