Post-harvest pathways of microplastic contamination in commercially valuable fish from processing centers along the Gulf of Mannar, southeast coast of India
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that microplastic contamination nearly doubles in fish during traditional sun-drying processing along India's Gulf of Mannar coast, with curing salt, airborne fallout, and processing-area soil collectively explaining over 85% of the variance in dried fish MP loads. Estimated adult dietary exposure reached approximately 170,000 microplastics per year, with dried fish contributing 44% despite lower consumption frequency.
Occurrence of Microplastics in Coastal Waters of Kerala
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers measured the concentration and types of microplastics in coastal waters of Kerala, India, contributing regional data to the global picture of ocean plastic contamination. Understanding microplastic distribution in coastal zones is critical because these areas are biodiversity hotspots and major sources of seafood consumed by local and global populations.
Characterisation and distribution of microplastics in the inner shelf sediments of the southeast coast of India, Bay of Bengal
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers sampled seafloor sediments along India's southeast coast in the Bay of Bengal and found widespread microplastic contamination, documenting the types, shapes, and chemical makeup of the particles. The findings reveal how plastic pollution is building up in coastal marine sediments that support fisheries and local food supplies.
Microplastic ingestion and potential risk assessment on commercial and non-commercial marine fish in the Bay of Bengal
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in six coral reef fish species from Saint Martin's Island in the Bay of Bengal, finding 100% occurrence rates, with 4-10 microplastics per gastrointestinal tract dominated by polypropylene and polyethylene fibers, and polymer hazard index scores classifying all species in the high-risk 'Danger' category.
