Summary

A comprehensive review of microplastic sources, analytical separation techniques, and removal strategies found that plastics enter both aquatic and terrestrial environments through diverse pathways, with no single removal approach currently capable of addressing the full scope of contamination. Developing integrated detection-to-removal pipelines is essential for reducing the environmental load and limiting ongoing human and wildlife exposure.

Microplastic pollution is one of the emerging challenges aquatic and terrestrial environment is facing. Plastic particles having diameter less than 5 mm are considered to be microplastics. These are becoming the pollutants of increasing concern. Microplastics...
