2020
Mohammad Mamun Ur Rashid, Shariq Shamsi, K. S. Siddiqi

Summary

Freshwater environments face persistent contamination from microplastics and other emerging pollutants of microscopic origin, threatening ecosystems that billions of people rely on for drinking water and food. The ubiquity of microplastics in rivers, lakes, and groundwater means that human exposure through water consumption is effectively unavoidable without advanced treatment interventions.

Study Type Environmental
