آلودگی زیستمحیطی تخلیه پسماند شهری بر روی سلامت اکوسیستم دریایی در سواحل جنوبی ایران (مطالعه موردی: ساحل خرچنگ کنارک-خلیج چابهار)
Summary
This Farsi-language study examined the environmental contamination caused by municipal waste disposal on a beach in southern Iran. Poorly managed waste disposal was found to be a major source of marine pollution, including plastics. The findings highlight inadequate waste management as a driver of coastal plastic contamination in developing regions.
The entry of materials extracted from municipal, industrial and hospital waste into marine ecosystems is one of the serious environmental problems in coastal cities. One of the most important environmental challenges is the improper and unprincipled disposal of waste on the beaches. The Kharchang coast of Konarak city is one of these beaches that is subject to improper waste management in the country. In the present study, the possible environmental hazards of the landfill on the coast were investigated. According to the results, the traditional and inefficient waste disposal system on the shores of Konarak near the mangrove forests, has brought about the soil and air pollution, and with the entry of toxic leachates, plastics and microplastics, heavy metals and organic matter in the bed of sand, mud and also their entry into the sea has caused many health problems in these ecosystems and consequently the destruction of the marine environment of Chabahar Bay. Therefore, creating and organizing a fully standardized and mechanized system based on up-to-date methods seems to be essential in order to achieve the health of local ecologists. In addition, due to the proximity of the landfill to the aquatic ecosystems of the Oman Sea, the principle of choosing a suitable place for disposal and landfilling is effective in reducing potential environmental hazards in the region and will improve waste management.

Microplastic pollution on the Persian Gulf shoreline: A case study of Bandar Abbas city, Hormozgan Province, Iran
Beach microplastic abundance was measured across different land-use types along the Bandar Abbas coastline in Iran, finding an average of 3,252 ± 2,766 particles/m² with expanded polystyrene, PET, PP, and PE as dominant polymers, and significantly higher contamination near urbanized areas. The study demonstrates that land use intensity directly influences coastal microplastic deposition in the Persian Gulf.

Exploring the microplastic pollution: Unveiling origins and varieties in coastal sediments and waters of the Bushehr Province, Persian Gulf, Iran
Researchers conducted a comprehensive survey of microplastic pollution in coastal sediments and waters along the Persian Gulf in Iran. They found microplastics at all sampling sites, with the highest concentrations near petrochemical facilities and urban centers, and fibers being the most common type. The study establishes baseline pollution data for the region and links contamination levels to specific human activities.
