Sources, impacts and management of microplastics
AI summary Read the abstract
This review summarises recent research on the sources, environmental impacts, and management strategies for microplastic pollution. Researchers find that while progress has been made in documenting contamination, universal strategies for prevention and cleanup remain underdeveloped and require further research.
Microplastics are contemporary issues requiring close attention and continuous research. This paper aims to summarize recent studies of sources, impacts, and management of environmental microplastics, find universal strategies from different aspects’ research and provide suggestions from a future scope.
