Hazards of Microplastic in Oceanic Environment: An Assessment
Summary
Ocean plastic debris persists for thousands of years without biodegrading, fragmenting progressively into microplastics that accumulate in marine food webs and carry adsorbed toxic chemicals across vast oceanic distances. The non-biodegradable persistence of these particles means current pollution levels represent a long-term contamination baseline that will affect marine ecosystems and seafood safety for generations.
The waste plastic debris from various sources are continuously added to the ocean and these materials are non-biodegradable and persist within the marine environment for even thousands of years and are transported from one place to another place within the sea...
